Movie Reviews of Young Sherlock Holmes
Movie Review: EHTAR-RATHE
Summary: 5 Stars
Young Sherlock Holmes is a truly excellent film. Although the story is totally apocryphal and Holmes Purists may be upset by the story, it is certainly one of the most fun I have ever watched about the Sleuth.The Acting is great, the story is great and the score is a classic, but the where this film truly shimes, at least for me, is the visual effects.
Since this film was made before Computer Animation was widely used, there are a number of puppetry/stop action scenes that are amazing, as well as a computer animated stained glass knight.
This movie is a must watch, all the way through the credits (which contains an excellent indulgent twist).
Movie Review: One of the best movies ever about the life of Sherlock Holmes
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this movie in the theater when I was in the 7th grade. My father took me to see it and at the time I wasn't sure if I wanted to, but what kid could pass up a free night out to a movie especially on a school night. When the movie was over I was glad my father took me because I had become an instant fan. Over the years it has been on television, but I had not seen it in six or seven years and I wanted to introduce it to my ten year old son. It was everything I remembered it to be and although it took a few minutes my son became interested and now he is also a fan. The movie arrived in excellent condition and it arrived on time.Movie Review: Action, adventure, suspense -- not a kid's movie.
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember seeing this movie a looong time ago when it first came out. I think I actually appreciate and enjoy it more now than I did back when.
Do not be confused -- this isn't a kid's movie per-se. There are some rather scary parts to this movie, and there is a good deal of violence, though none of it is what I would call overly graphic.
The acting is well done, the settings are quaint and fit the storyline well, and when you combine that with a great musical score and a rather intriguing plot, you have what I consider to be a FANTASTIC movie.
Movie Review: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Would Be Proud
Summary: 5 Stars
Even though Arthur Conan Doyle didn't write this, I think he would be quite proud. I am a big Sherlock Holmes fan and love this film. I was in junior high when it came out and originally saw it in the theater (twice). Now, at the age of 33, I still find it very enjoyable to watch. It does a neat job of depicting Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson (before he bacame a doctor) as young men attending a boarding school together. The acting, directing, costume design, and set design are all excellent. And it has a great mystery/adventure that will appeal to both kids and adults.Movie Review: Holmes fans will love this.
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is an account of a young Sherlock Holmes who meets a young Watson at a boarding school in Victorian England. There are clues, suspense, special effects and a touch of romance. Egyptian assassins, drugged-laced darts, stained glass knights coming to life to attack a hapless priest, and of course, the kidnapped girl being wrapped in mummy bandages and being encased in wax while alive keep the film moving.
I show this movie to high school sophomores right before a homecoming or a vacation or some other highly anticipated event with good success.
