SHERLOCK HOLMES is an offensively stupid, written-by-committee piece of shit that deletes, ignores or rewrites all the elements of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's character that made him worthy of interest in the first place.
I would suggest anyone who
A) Has read any of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's stories, or
B) Has even the barest familiarity with the Victorian Era, or
C) Has the shallowest appreciation of the operation of Her Majesty's Government
avoid this Americanized garbage entirely.
Those who do not meet the above criteria may, at their own risk, hazard a viewing.
Personally, I've had more fun preparing my tax return: I spent the last hour-and-a-half of the film's two-hour running time desperately wishing for a book to read. Preferably in the lobby.
