Movie Reviews
This seemed an abominable ride for me.
Sherlock: The abominable bride. This seemed an abominable ride for me.
I
am a fan of the sherlock series as Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin
Freeman formed a terrific duo as Holmes and Watson. In this special
one-off film, the viewers were given a Christmas treat. I can confess it
was not as delicious as I thought it would be. There are moments of
awe, but there are few in this film as compared to previous nine
episodes of the three seasons.
This is a special film and the
only one till date, to be coming in theaters from the series. There are
many special things after the film is done. While the film was on, I
only wondered what happened to specialties of Holmes and Watson.
Yes,
I could explore very much of the mind palace of Holmes and also a
period which was thus far not shown as the episodes are contemporary.
This film is not a one-off case but seemed like a curtain raiser to the
coming season. It tried to blend the now and the then, but it seemed
flawed overall. I only wished to be watching a real sherlock Holmes
doing real business in real time. But his mind wanders centuries too
quickly which is not to my liking.
The technicalities are superb
as always in this terrifically presented film. Yet, I wish the
screenplay was more fluid and not as haphazard as it was.
Steven
Moffat and Mark Gattis are terrific writers as per earlier episodes but I
felt that they could not pull off this experimental one-off special.
I am going with 3/5 in a good film, but it's average as a sherlock episode.
