Title: Dog Poop
Review: What a pile of cr*p !!! Did the director of this movieknow ANYTHING about Doyle's description of Holmes?Obviously not. I understand that he felt the need to transformHolmesto the 21 century,but was it necessary to change Holmesinto a totally unrecognizable character.I read the reviewsof this movie but still rented it only because of Downey.He is a superb actor who I think would have done one heckof an acting job if he had the chance to play Holmes the wayDoyle intended.As it was,even Downey couldn't save the horrendousdialogue in this movie.But,to me the worst part of this movie was the overall blacknessthat was supposed to take us back to a different era.I didn't buy an hdtv to sit and watch 2 hours of different shadesof black because the director was so-o-o inept that he couldn'tcome up with any other way to give the viewer a feeling ofa period piece.Don't waste your money on this one.Get the Jeremy Brett version of Holmes.Yes he plays it over the top,but its fun to watch him doing it.
Is the review positive or negative?
