Sherlock Holmes (2010)
Bad casting, awful script, cheap attempt at capitalizing off of recent blockbuster
Yeah this script sucks and is a cheap attempt at capitalizing off of the recent Sherlock Holmes blockbuster.
The acting isn't all that bad, in fact that's the best part of it.
The casting for Holmes is a girly guy that has no ability to project a forceful voice. He speaks fast and under his breath and it's usually impossible to tell what he's saying. Watson's actor is a better cast but still speaks too fast on occasion. Lestrade is poorly cast as well.
The Script? So laughable. It would have us believe, that in 1880 the following technologies were available:
Flying machine that flys by flapping wings and has an enormous body and tail, contains a flame thrower and air to ground missiles. Power source unknown. It looks like a full blown dragon and flys like one as well.
Another flying machine that is a combo hot air balloon / helicopter.
Submarine capable of deploying a giant sea monster automaton that is large enough to capture and crush a full size 3 mast sailing ship.
A robot/automaton powered by clockwork that has artificial intelligence capable of entering in intelligent conversation and beautiful enough for Watson to fall for, but yet not important enough that the villain uses it as a simple suicide bomber. Automaton also has tracking capability and AI enabling it to tell when it's master is in trouble and fire a gun at the perpetrator. Robot is still in operation 60 years later after original master is dead. (I guess it just winds itself eh?) Fire breathing T-Rex robot capable of jumping, and running fast enough to catch and kill people.
Don't waste your time on this and please don't pay to see this, no need to reward the imbeciles that subjected me to this.
