The suspense lay in how Holmes would prove that Moriarty had not come back from the dead. It was a gamble since the audience would not sit in suspense for the duration of the film, but would be more interested in the special effects and action. If they could do a good job with Hound of the Baskervilles in this formula, it wold be hugely entertaining.

By the way, the effects and recreation of nineteenth century London, including the tower bridge under construction, were just as impressive and immersive as Avatar for my money.
