Title: Even Spielberg!
Review: Even the greats have bad days, maybe bad seasons, during which the filming of a movie takes place. This particular movie veers away from the canon and everything it presents to such an extent that if the darker stuff like ritual killings and death of teenagers are taken away, this movie almost becomes a spoof of Sherlock Holmes. Probably Spielberg had simply offloaded some Indiana Jones material in this movie by giving us a mushy Holmes, an irritating Watson, and some of the most OTT villains which can be produced only in Hollywood.If you are not in the mood for the original stuff, as portrayed inThe Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (Boxed Set Collection)or the latest "reboot" (Sherlock Holmes) or even its more intelligent "updating" (Sherlock: Season One), and simply wish to have fun, better pursueThe Great Mouse Detective (Mystery in the Mist Edition), which, let me assure you, is vastly superior to this particular movie that is under review.
