Oct 22, 2012Strangely enough the birthplace of modern digital effects. <i>Tron</i> began the digitization of the celluloid screen, but <i>Young Sherlock Holmes</i> first blended animated objects and creatures into the everyday world and not just in some abstract universe. The results, like the stained-glass knight, were eye-popping in their day.Doctor S Super Reviewer

Sep 21, 2012I might have loved this more if I didn't love Sherlock Holmes. But, I do. The plot seemed hopelessly contrived and the acting--with the notable exception of Watson--wooden. The sets were good, though, as were the costumes.Bathsheba M Super Reviewer

Dec 31, 2011I actually really enjoyed this. I perfer this to the Guy Ritchie Sherlock Holmes flicks and I thought those were a lot of fun!ZACHO D Super Reviewer

Dec 19, 2011Described as "fan-fiction" by my Sherlock Holmes book fan brother, and by me as "a good kids movie". Yes, the film makes it perfectly clear, twice, that this story is not part of any of the books about Holmes, or anything written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle at all. But that doesn't make it a horrible movie. It has some good action scenes, and it's structured as a normal kids mystery movie with both foreseen and unforeseen twists at the end. I'm not saying it was a good movie either, though. It has its share of boring talky scenes, but at least they made me laugh sometimes. Overall, it's an okay movie, not too bad, but not good either.
