Bleh. Not the Sherlock Holmes I know and love ...

Rating: 3/10 (1 January 2010)

This wasn't Sherlock Holmes - it was Jackie Chan meets Sherlock Holmes meets Pinky and the Brain.
The acting was adequate, though often stilted. The plot was adequate, though far-fetched and unrealistic. The suspense was entirely lacking, and the "action" was almost comical. The coup de grace was the end, where Holmes pulled details out of thin air to prove what a genius he was. Nothing in this movie was convincing to me ... there is only so far I can suspend disbelief, suspend intelligence, or fake interest.
All told, I want my time and money back - this movie was not worth it in the least. Wait for the DVD ... if you watch it at all.
