Movie Reviews of Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson: The King of Blackmail/ Mortal Fight/ Tiger Hunt 2 DVD SET
Movie Review: If you're ready for Holmes speaking Russian ...
Summary: 5 Stars
For context, I'm an American English speaker, 45 years old. I've been a huge fan of Sherlock Holmes since I first discovered him as a child in the 70's. I've read all the stories and seen most of the notable English/American TV/Movie versions and enjoyed quite a few, especially those starring Jeremy Brett. When my Russian wife introduced me to the Russian holmes "mini-series", I have to say I was delightfully surprised and really impressed. The subtitles help, and certainly watching it with a native Russian speaker is a big help. But I enjoy this series so much that sometimes I watch it with the subtitles off, even when my wife isn't around. The production values, attention to detail and faithfulness to the original story lines is outstanding. My wife tells me that when an episode was scheduled to air on Russian TV, her whole family would gather around to make sure they didn't miss a minute, and I understand why.
If you think the language barrier or sub-titles will be a barrier to your enjoyment, then try to rent them first to check that aspect out for yourself. If you have Russian speaking friends who enjoy the series, try to arrange to watch it with them. Their personal input will add something, surely. But if you're a huge Holmes fan and you're used to watching foreign language films with sub-titles, I feel quite certain that, even on your own, the quality, personal warmth and faithfulness to the original Holmes stories will surely please.
My wife tells me that the best of the series were the later ones, when the success of the early episodes allowed the producers to hire better actors for the supporting roles. Holmes and Watson are always top notch, throughout, but she tells me in movies like the Hound of the Baskervilles, the production values were even higher, and the films even more enjoyable. I've not seen HOtB yet, but I'm very much looking forward.
