Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.

ctyankee1 I like the Sherlock Holmes movies and about 18 people have played Sherlock Holmes.Matt Frewer was just awful in this movie. He kept making faces smiling, looking like he was trying to be humorous but he looked like a jerk.I have to say the one of the best actors played Dr Watson in this movie. Kenneth Welch played Watson and he was serious and believable. He reminded me of David Suchet who plays Poirot.There were twin brothers in this movie. One is dead killed by a poison dart and the the one wearing a cap, dressed like a man from India and really poor make up and acting.Some of Matt Frewer's movies were produced by Muse Entertainment Production. The opening of this movie said a Hallmark Presentation. I always respected Hallmark but in this case they were wrong, the movie stinks.I am getting ready to watch The Case of the Whitechapel Vampire 2002. This movie also has the same producer Muse and is also presented by Hallmark. I hope this movie is better.

gtbarker There is no other word to describe this debacle than absolutely shocking! And yet another remake/adaptation for the why bother bin? It seems to me that remakes are getting worse all the time.Sherlock Holmes is like Shakespeare - done well it's brilliant, done badly it's as bad as it gets and this one really is as bad as it gets.It's also one of those - do the Americans really believe the British all either talk either like the Queen or Dick Van Dyke?Anyone with any appreciation of film at all would be well-advised to stay well clear of this turkey, it's a real stinker.Ignore this advice at your peril and don't say I didn't tell you so.

StnrWrknHvc I bought the four movie mini series from my local DVD store. I didn't watch it for about 5 months. It sat on my table collecting dust. I threw out my back and had nothing to do but watch movies. When I popped this in i expected an okay movie. I was treated to a very humorous take on the classic character. When I read Sherlock I always had the vision of him prancing around baker street very restless. Doyle even refers to him as feline at several points. In my opinion there hasn't been a more fun version of Holmes done yet, though I haven't seen them all. Serious fans don't seem to enjoy it because of the humor brought to the film, yet in his stories Holmes always seems to be on top of things and has a very slight dry sense of humor which they magnified in this movie. All together a enjoyable film. In response to the person who thinks watson is too old, remember that watson had time to go to med school, finish it up and go to a war, come back and live in a bottle for a while before he met holmes who was still at school if i remember correctly.

KatharineFanatic Sherlock Holmes is idling in his London flat once again in this masterful new adventure based on the classic part of the Canon "The Sign of Four." This time with Matt Frewer as the languid and yet surprisingly agile Sherlock Holmes, the film is well-placed, excellently-filmed, and any true Sherlockian will enjoy it. A few liberties have been taken from the original script, but are lost in the excellent dialogue and London fog as they follow the notorious murderer, Jonathan Small, and his strange and unearthly savage to uncover a twisting tale of deception, secrets, lies, betrayal, and murder.Overall, the film's a lot of fun. It gives a new angle to Sherlock Holmes - a comical one, while never overdoing Holmes' brilliance. A friend had never been "interested" in Holmes before now - she liked Frewer's serious and yet proud adaptation. The costuming is standard fare - that of the older version, with Ian Richardson as Holmes, was better done as far as the heroine's wardrobe - and it has enough excitement to keep you entertained, while adding a touch of romance and strain between Watson and Holmes; the result being Holmes' famed speech on the "dangers of women."An excellent second installment in the series of four by Hallmark Entertainment. I hope the rest of the miniseries is as eventful and imaginative as this one.
