![]() Although his "goodness golly." exclamation was amusing, namely because of what it references, Mr Poe somehow doesn't do it for me in this series and don't think the character or interpretation blended particularly well, a big problem as the series in general significantly expanded him. Uncle Monty's presence is missed as the character did prove to be one of "The Reptile Room: Part 1's" biggest pleasures, but that is not a major problem at all (in fact it's not a problem at all, read the source material if you haven't already and you'll see why). Got the real sense of the first part that 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' was beginning to hit its stride and there is that sense in the second part too, the source material itself in my mind playing a bit part in this. ![]() The second part of "The Reptile Room" continues the improvement and has even more tension and mystery, with it being quite a bit darker than the first part. ![]() While building as well upon the tension and mystery that would continue throughout the whole 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' series. It built upon what "The Bad Beginning" did well, and that two parter did a lot well, and made those strengths even better and improved upon mostly what didn't quite work (the pace and dialogue have already improved). Really loved the first part of "The Reptile Room". ![]()
