In Reply to: funny review! I just hate the fact that they made it at all... posted by PhilJ on January 15, 2010 at 07:18:16:
I always loved the books and heard a radio review where they talked about making the Holmes character more physical as he was in the books.
I thought it was worth a punt on a hot summer afternoon.
I actually squirmed through an hour and walked out as they felt the need to explain the inexplicable at Baker Street towards the end.
I have no idea how much I missed, nor do I care.
Having Lastrade(?) pretend to be a conspirator and have no one notice that he wasn't when all the rest seemed to lords, after having one lord suggest he had hushed up his illegitimate son whilst curiously making him (more unexplained stuff) a lord in his own right was too dumb to bother with.
