Summary: Who knew Holmes could fly!
Comment: This is a wonderfully charming and beautifully crafted movie. The story is an intelligent interpretation of the very first adventure of a young Sherlock Holmes & John Watson, before they became themselves.
The attention to period detail must be acknowledged as some of the finest ever captured on film. Of particular note is Waxflatter's spectacular flying machine and the incredible Egyptian pyramid built inside a Victorian warehouse.
This movie has surely stood the test of time and is destined to become a classic, not only with Holmes connoisseurs, but with fans of period movies as well.
The only problem with this movie is the lack a sequel, as was originally intended. But truthfully, that only makes this movie all the more special.

Summary: Holmes fans will love this.
Comment: This movie is an account of a young Sherlock Holmes who meets a young Watson at a boarding school in Victorian England. There are clues, suspense, special effects and a touch of romance. Egyptian assassins, drugged-laced darts, stained glass knights coming to life to attack a hapless priest, and of course, the kidnapped girl being wrapped in mummy bandages and being encased in wax while alive keep the film moving.
I show this movie to high school sophomores right before a homecoming or a vacation or some other highly anticipated event with good success.

Summary: It's not merely elementary, it's for older kids too.
Comment: This is a very clever twist on an old tale. Take a beloved character from classic literature and show the world what he might have been like growing up. It's not like this sort of thing hasn't been done before, but this time it is done very well.
The characters are brilliant and the story is fun and interesting. I wish they would have made a whole series of these movies, but this stands well enough alone and sets up the story of why Sherlock Holmes is who he is later in life.
If you like Sherlock Holmes then this is a movie for you, and even if you don't it's still a fun mystery for the whole family.

Summary: Young Sherlock Holmes
Comment: This movie is alot better than the Indiana Jones sequel (Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom). *That is, whoever got the stupid idea of combining these 2 or putting it another way as a copy cat movie, The Indiana Jones sequels suck big-time. It seems as though CNN & FoxNews got together & put spins/lies galore behind the Indiana Jones sequels. ;(... Just like politics as usual.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good stuff
Comment: Very well filmed. Big Steve did a good job on this one. Has mystery and fun. A bit much for kids and not a historically correct (as the books go) but a fun way to look at how he might have grown up.
