Tired Franchise
PostedMay 21, 2011
My daughter loved this movie. I enjoyed it, but the franchise is tired. It lacked the power, complexity and spirit of the other three. Worth the watch if your a fan of the series, but not much to take home.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Waste of Time
PostedMarch 28, 2010
If I never read a book, watched television, saw a play or a movie, I might have something positive to say about this uninteresting and uninspiring dribble. A flat premise with a shallow plot amounts to nothing. I'd rather read dirty limricks.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Good chemistry makes good fun.
PostedMarch 24, 2010
The plot of the movie was basic, and I didn't see anything new. However, Aniston and Butler have good chemistry. It's fun to watch. Most of the characters had something delightful to offer, and overall I was entertained.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Don't be fooled by glitz.
PostedMarch 24, 2010
The darkest movie I have seen in a long time. Don't get me wrong, I love biting & hard hitting satire, but this was darkness without a point, the director is a bully waiting around the corner to steal your lunch money. Beware! After you remove the polish of seasoned actors and the shiney special effects, an unrepetant thug's tale is all you have left, and it's poorly told as well. I am mostly upset that the full extent of this movie's dark depths was lost on the people around me.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

A relatively benign, shallow plot with little to offer, YET, the journey of the main characters is fun to watch.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Great ride with old favorite
PostedJanuary 7, 2010
Robert Downey and Jude Law gave great performances, and suberbly portrayed the chemistry between Holmes and Watson. The computer graphics worked well to give us a sense of the pre-modern London, that we could never see with contemorary on-location footage. Unfortunately, I thought Rachel McAdams was very weak. A cartoon performance. Overall the movie is worth seeing.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Cute but forgettable
PostedOctober 5, 2009
Some clever dialogue, funny bits and performed well, but otherwise uninspiring. The Wonder Years meets Night of the Living Dead. The "finding family" theme was too cliche'
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Solid Science Fiction
PostedAugust 15, 2009
Good story, subtle satire and humor. Interesting political parallels and subtext. Great special effects, and plenty of action. I didn't know the acting talent, and that was good, put a fresh and real look to the movie. Performances were very good. The documentary live action feel worked very well. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Too Standard
PostedJuly 26, 2009
No new ideas, no new insights, just a tired use of cute fuzzy animals, and stale jokes for the adults who take the kids.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Perfect continuation of the franchise
PostedMay 11, 2009
An excellent Sci-Fi adventure, whether young or old, whether you're a staunch fan or newcomer to the story. Frankly, to keep the franchise going I think they needed to return to the power of Roddenberry's original characters. They did this with excellent casting. As a kid, I watched the original broadcasts on TV. I have loved it ever since, and this movie did not disappoint. References all the way back to the original pilot were wonderful. Adding Nemoy was great, and gracefully done, as he deserves. Go see it.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
