Performances were great and enjoyable. I loved the Holmes/Watson relationship (although it resembles a House/Wilson friendship). The story is easy to follow due to the fact that the dialog is not as overly complex as most 18th century Old England films. The sets are extraordinary and the lack of color works. It is a typical mystery film that keeps the viewer guessing well into the end of the film where it all is cleverly revealed. It IS longer than it needs to be but its never slow due to action, special effects and funny dialog evenly spread out trough the film. I had a good time.
This movie was SUPER FUN to watch, VERY ENTERTAINING, FRESH MEAT (as far as graphics go), my eye was bouncing all over the screen slowly taking in and enjoying the CG art, truly I was IN Pandora (the planet in which the story takes place). Gotta admit the story was predictable, but at the same time gratifying. Felt like coming out of a fancy and delicious restaurant, i was satisfied, unlike a similar 2009 film out of which i rolled out the door completely STUFFED, won't say the name but it start with trans and ends with formers 2
