worth a watch? I've read like 2/3 of the books but it was

I watch just for Patrick Warburtons dick

I'm watching it now. I watched about 10 minutes the night it was released and was kind of disgusted by the bizarrely comical tone and the terrible lighting, so I turned it off.
I started watching again today and I found it a lot more palatable once I understood the tone they were going for.
So it's pretty good. It's funny, they're sticking to the books, and they're setting things up very well. I have two big problems with it. First, way too comical. Even when dark things are happening, it plays itself like a parody of Wes Anderson and just comes off as excessively whimsical. The 2004 film went a little too far in the other direction, but at least it wasn't afraid of actually having some tonal variation and being genuinely dramatic. Second, NPH is honestly just garbage. He tries, he tries so hard, but he's just not intimidating or scary. He's a thin guy with a high voice. Even when he's not wearing a costume, it doesn't feel like he's a real person (he's not; NPH is wearing prosthetics). Again, Carrey just matches the role better; his problem was having a bad script to work with.
So yeah. It's pretty good. I'm having fun watching it.

Couldn't agree more about the tone, but I though NPH was decent.

NPH's acting is generally pretty good and I'm about as satisfied with it as I could have hoped for, but he just doesn't have the physicality to pull it off. That's my real problem with it.

They got a girl that looks like her but put her in shitty clothes and not the gothloli costumes from the movie. When Emily Browning tied up her hair i was dimonds, but when this girl does it, it doesn't even twitch

I have a feeling Olaf's more outlandish moments were Carrey's improvisation and not the script
