NOT the Worst Sherlock Holmes Movie I've Ever Seen

Hee, I'll take it.

As always I'm impressed with your memory for details. I can't believe you only saw it once and remembered both mine and E's comments.

Yup, I love that Watson is much more assertive in this film. Holmes of course is much more obvious about being an emotional mess. However, I don't think that's really inconsistent with canon. Holmes just sublimated it in his tendency toward melodrama and play acting. Being bad at the play acting is of course a sign of how upset he is at Watson's bedside. Interesting contrast to how good he is at it when chasing Irene Adler. He goes from James Bond to Jacques Clouseau.

I think it should have been shorter, and I'm not much for some of the more farcical scenes. However, I loved the look of it it, the steam punk elements, and their relationship.

So, what? No review of Live Free or Die Hard?
