Unbelievable characters, trite story line, exaggerated invincibility, and Barbie and Ken as the leads. The only thing that kept me in the theater longer than 10 minutes was the bizarre plot twisting. Do not waste your time.
The relationship between Sherlock and Watson is superbly acted. The videography invites the viewer into the film beautifully, and the "montage flashbacks" to illustrate Holmes's brilliant deductions keep you on your toes, trying to follow along and solve the mystery. The film "sags" in a couple of places but overall - it's totally engaging.
A total disappointment. The hilarious previews and George Clooney's smile had sucked me in like a vacuum, but it turns out that the comedy ended with the previews. The only believable parts were when George Clooney's dispassionate character fires all those shocked, desperate people, and who but a sadist wants to watch that? The rest was merely an array of the trite and superficial. I kept assuming that it would improve, that something would "wake this movie up," but clearly, I just wasted my time. Even George Clooney's gift for acting could not carry this weak movie-going experience.
