Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

one-nine-eighty OMG this has to be one of the best bad films I've seen in a while!!As well as Sherlock Holmes expect to see a Velociraptor, a giant squid, a bit of steampunk, a prototype Iron Man suit, spring-heeled Jack (not THE spring heeled jack - random brother of Holmes that nobody has ever heard of) and a lot more bonkers in this Asylum film.Ben Snyder is cast as the central hero in the film, basically everything about the film is set up to be a vehicle for him - unfortunately he won't be winning any pats on the back, he's awful, and its the others in the cast that save him at times. His cockiness becomes down right annoying and my TV was lucky not to have been smashed up as a result of his levels of smug. Bearing in mind that there are dinosaurs and steampunk elements don't expect an accurate portrayal of the time it's set in - heck, don't expect the plot to be any good either. You'll spend my time confuddled that in enjoyment, but it's not the worst Asylum film I've seen this year!!! I can only assume this film was created to cash in on other Holmes based films which have been launched at around the same time. Might be worth a watch if you are drunk or maybe if you enjoy bad films, if you expect a vehicle to suspend your disbelief look elsewhere. 4/10 is generous.

Armand not memorable, not good or bad. only a form of amusement who use parts from Conan Doyle 's work for an easy game. the result is predictable, the story is fragile, the acting not special but decent. a film about Sherlock Holmes who has not revelations, new ideas or ambition to be an event. only entertainment without any complication. and that purpose is the best virtue. because the script or the cast are far to do a special movie about the legendary detective but are magnificent choice for a not complicated exercise to remind Holmes and Watson. and that could be a good point in the war of adaptations. because it is that kind of film who reminds the comfort of an evening after a long and hard work day.

Polychrome9 Really bad, not even funny. Bad acting, bad writing, bad special effects. I gave it two stars because some of the steam-punk-style gear and gadgets were kind of cool. But not even remotely enough to save a film with little discernible storyline. Our motivation-less villain hammed it up to the point of silliness, Watson did not seem to have read the script and had no idea what was going on (neither did the audience!), and Holmes was phoning in this performance. Now, I didn't expect much from this production company (it is a low-budget schlock-shop), but usually I get a story I can follow. The Asylum really slipped up this time.

TeeJayKay This video release was produced by The Asylum, and when I saw it on TV, I had nothing but the lowest expectations, so my disappointment was not gigantic (i.e. I never even remotely expected anything like the Downey/Law movies or the Cumberbatch/Freeman TV series). This said, I was wondering whether some capable screenwriter, a good director, and actors like Downey and Law might not be able to extract something usable from this movie. There is, of course, the obvious fun of having one Downey character (Holmes) face off with another (Iron Man), but I think, with state-of-the-art special effects and a few improvements, this story might be turned into a decent, very entertaining movie, with lots of action and humor. The seed is there! If you watch it under this aspect, you might agree. I am sure much worse scripts have been handed to producers/directors and eventually, with a lot of rewrites and other improvements, been turned into quite decent movies.
