Movie Reviews

Austin Chronicle - 9/10 by Marjorie BaumgartenThe more one knows about Holmes lore, the more the film's foreshadowings of future cases will be evident. Set in a boys boarding school, the film's imaginings about the life of the young detective are quite entertaining.
The New York Times - 9/10 by Vincent CanbyNot only the best movie to feature an Egyptian blowgun in several years, but also one of the few really stylish and entertaining American movies of 1985.
Flick Filosopher - 9/10 by MaryAnn JohansonThis is the origin story for the world's first consulting detective that Conan Doyle was never considerate enough to write for us...
Filmcritic.com - 8/10 by Christopher Nulldefinitely worth a better reception than it's received over the years.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertThe elaborate special effects also seem a little out of place in a Sherlock Holmes movie, although I'm willing to forgive them because they were fun.
Slant Magazine - 8/10 by Joshua VasquezThere is something about Holmes's elegant, haunting, and whisperingly melancholic distance, his analytical remove from the world, that inspires a desire for glimpses of the baroque corridors of labyrinthine interiors.
Washington Post - 7/10 by Rita KempleyThe production is first-rate in all technical ways imaginable, but the villain that Holmes and Watson chase is not worth their intellect or time or ours.
Washington Post - 7/10 by Paul AttanasioYoung Sherlock Holmes is the latest product off the Spielberg assembly line (he's the executive producer) and bears its machine-marks. For all that, though, it's a perfectly agreeable family entertainment, a craftsmanlike fantasia on Conan Doyle.
IGN - 6/10 by R.L. ShafferBe sure to watch the film all the way through the end credits for a clever post-credit cookie (a rarity for this era).
The Associated Press - 6/10 by Bob ThomasThe young cast, which resembles a collection of Gerald Scarfe illustrations, acquits itself reasonably well, but is too ordinary to be heroic. And, once action is introduced into the mix, Barry Levinson'’s direction falters.
