Title: I didn't realize a Holmes movie could be this bad
Product review: Where to begin with the flaws in this horrible production? I'll start with a gratuitous scene in which Holmes takes cocaine while cogitating on a case - a nauseating scene which completely violates the Holmes canon. Holmes never used cocaine while working on a case (he only resorted to it from boredom), and the original Baskervilles story does not contain the word "cocaine" anywhere in it (check Project Gutenberg's electronic text files). The scene was utterly unnecessary and jarring.The snide, sneering Holmes portrayal completely misses the mark. Holmes could be contemptuous, it's true, but he could also be a genuine gentleman, which this characterization completely overlooks.I can't go on.... I don't want to think about this travesty any longer. If you liked the book, get the Granada version with Jeremy Brett instead of this ....
