| User Reviewlibby bThis was really good. Next to Rathbone and Brett, Everett is one of the best Holmes I've seen. |
| User ReviewPeter SAs far as I'm concerned, the best portrayal of Sherlock Holmes ever, on the small or big screens. It's obvious that Rupert Everett delved into the books because his portrayal also happens to be the closest to the literary Holmes. Flawed, self-absorbed and a hopeless addict, Everett treats us to a still-infallible yet completely-human Holmes. If only his name became synonymous with theatrical Holmes instead of the abominable Basil Rathbone. Sigh. The mystery is a good one. I saw one reviewer say it was "predictable". If true, then I'm a idiot because it wasn't the slightest bit predictable to me. I saw the twist at about the same time Holmes did, so that was pretty satisfying. Acting was superb all around. Set design and production were fantastic. If you truly love "whodunnits" then there's not much here not to love. |
| User ReviewKatherine NRupert Everett is Sherlock Holmes. Wonderful new tale, great actors. |
| User ReviewMatthew RRupert Everett is so god damn hot in this. luv him! |
| User ReviewSuvi LThis move is FANTASTIC! I swear. Rupert Everett makes Sherlock Holmes sexy. Not gonna lie! |
| User ReviewMoony CFinally! A movie that brings to light who Holmes was in Doyles stories. Cocain addiction and smarting wit in total. While a it is a pastiche, it still holds something 'doyle' about it. And Ian Hart has got to be the best Watson I've seen since the Granada series. |
| User ReviewCarma Mnot wuite jeremy brett but a close second... |
| User ReviewCharles LThough I am a die hard Brett fan, this has to be one of the best Holmes ever made. Perfect Holmes/Watson banter and a brush with the underlying loneliness and tragedy in Holmes' life. Also does not shy away from Sherlock's addiction, but does not glorify or forgive it either. A must see for fans of the character. |
| User ReviewMaría Romina MReally good movie with some up to date Watson and Holmes characters (well as up to date as you can get in the 18th century but you know what I mean.). |
| User ReviewSunil JRupert Everett is a more real and flawed Sherlock Holmes than we've seen before. |
