Basil Rathbone must be turning in his grave

Rating: 1/10 (24 January 2011)

It's elementary Guy - keep it simple and develop your characters with a plot that people can relate to.
I am trying to think where this film went wrong and I have reached the conclusion that it was just about everywhere.
What the hell Jude Law was doing in this load of tripe I will never know but you could say that his talent was completely wasted in endless predictable action and fight scenes.
If there was ever a one joke or one theme movie this was it. My God, didya ever guess that Sherlock Holmes has an amazing power of deduction? If you didn't, Guy Ritchie demonstrated this to us five hundred and ninety five times.
And Guy if you cannot come up with a feasible plot and have to ham it up - it HAS to be funny. And your villains HAVE to make you scared. My 8-yr-old grand-daughter was more frightened of Mrs Tweedy in Chicken Run than she was by Lord Blackwood in over-baked pad of codswallop.
I can only say that Basil Rathbone must be turning in his grave.
