Sherlock (2002)
horrible, horrible, horrible (possible spoiler, if you're unfamiliar with the books)
This isn't the worst movie I've ever seen (I did watch Solarbabies in my childhood) but....
It's really *really* bad - If you waste the money to rent this, try watching it as a satire, a comedy, or British revenge for the collapse of the British Empire.
The adaptation is terrible - Mycroft Holmes is never met in the books, he's just referred to as Sherlock's smarter brother. A morphine and cocaine addict, Sherlock didn't get "hooked" by Moriarty, and used the drugs by choice. Sex was totally a taboo subject for the era, and none of those scenes fit either. The STUPID STUPID attempts to impose modern morality in a movie blatently ignoring the MOST BASIC Victorian morals is pathetic.
I could go on, but it really is just horrible horrible horrible!!!
