Movie Reviews of Young Sherlock Holmes
Movie Review: THE GAME'S AFOOT
Summary: 5 Stars
Twenty years after its initial release, YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES remains a glowing and entertaining film, produced by Steven Spielberg and written by Chris Columbus. Lushly filmed, with state of the art special effects, YOUNG SHERLOCK posits how Holmes met up with Watson, why he remained a bachelor, and gives us some hints as to how the mature Holmes would end up. The cast is marvelous: Nicholas Rowe has a young Basil Rathbone face, and attacks his role with fervor; Alan Cox is stereotypical but fine as the young Watson; Sophie Ward is a lustrous Elizabeth; Anthony Higgins a dashing villain; the late Susan Fleetwood (Mick's sister) a sinister accomplice; and Freddie Jones excellent as always as one of the victims. Reminiscent of the Harry Potter series, it still maintains a charming originality and deserved to fare better.Movie Review: Who knew Holmes could fly!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderfully charming and beautifully crafted movie. The story is an intelligent interpretation of the very first adventure of a young Sherlock Holmes & John Watson, before they became themselves.
The attention to period detail must be acknowledged as some of the finest ever captured on film. Of particular note is Waxflatter's spectacular flying machine and the incredible Egyptian pyramid built inside a Victorian warehouse.
This movie has surely stood the test of time and is destined to become a classic, not only with Holmes connoisseurs, but with fans of period movies as well.
The only problem with this movie is the lack a sequel, as was originally intended. But truthfully, that only makes this movie all the more special.
Movie Review: !!
Summary: 5 Stars
I only watched this movie a couple of days ago, but I'm already in love with it! The acting was great, only Potter... er, I mean Watson, was extremely annoying. I kept being reminded of Harry Potter all the time!! The chemistry teacher was like a Proffesor Binns, and Dudley (!) was like a mini Malfoy. It's extremely hard to believe that the two movies (or the movie and book) are completely unrelated! Anyways, I thought that the movie is very "misunderestimated" nowadays, and I'm extremely disappointed that there's no fansites of the actors or anything... I mean, they're all so good, Nicholas Rowe especially! The music was fantastic. If only I could get my hands on the soundtrack... and it's out on DVD!! Go watch it, you'll never regret it!!Movie Review: Please, oh please, oh please! Let it be WIDESCREEN!
Summary: 5 Stars
It's about time that this fabulous movie is coming to DVD! I've loved Sherlock Holmes since I was ten years old and got this movie on VHS as a birthday present from my brothers. Since then, it has been my most FAVORITE of the Sherlock Holmes movies EVER! So what if it isn't exactly canonical. The movie reflects the spirit of the Sherlock Holmes books written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. And the acting and special effects are superb!I am not going to give away the plot as that spoils the fun of the movie but I will say that it is an adventurous romp that you are sure never to forget, if you've never seen the film. My biggest hope is that the coming DVD will be in widescreen and will have plenty of great extras.
Movie Review: Sherlock Holmes as a teenager
Summary: 5 Stars
I am glad that this film has been released on DVD.
It is about Sherlock Holmes as a teenager still in school. Watson is the new student who is drawn to Sherlock out of curiousity. Watson tags along as others in the school test his powers of deduction.
But when people start to see things that aren't there it leads Sherlock and Watson on their first real mystery. It has the added bonus of Elizabeth, the girl who is the object of Sherlock's love.
This is a definite must for anyone who enjoys movies like Indiana Jones and The Mummy. The special effects are great and the movie is well acted and has a non-predictable ending!
