Problems with that SHERLOCK HOLMES DTV Movie
The writers apparently don’t love Sherlock as much as I thought they did, since they sort of forgot that he already has a canonical brother who is named Mycroft and who is not a supervillain (oh, that’s a spoiler, by the way).
The monsters all had mechanical explanations, which I found more far-fetched than if they had been actual monsters, which is the whole reason I was excited about the movie in the first place.
Holmes was too young and too nice to everybody, but at least Watson was not portrayed as a bumbling idiot. I quite like the modern evolution of Watson’s portrayals of late.
All in all, it still was a fine little low-budget romp, if more than a bit ludicrous in the third act.
But then there’s that trifling little brother problem…it is really bothering me. A quick trip through the Sherlock Holmes Wikipedia page would have cleared that up.
