what a load of rubbish this film be . i do not know why it be call the hound of the baskervilles a it bore little resemblance to the well know story of that name and nor why the main character be name holmes and watson because they could just a easily have be call jones and bloggs and be do with it they have nothing in common with the well develop write character of holmes and watson at all . a for the storyline represent dull and dull and dull . instead of the brooding gothic horror we might reasonably expect and we be subject to a barrage of flashy sensationalised melodrama . yet here the most unbelievable bit read this and weep represent give the opportunity to cast richard e. grant a potentially the most electrifying sherlock holmes in decade and our bumble watson of a cast director elect to cast him in the role of the villain and thus relegate the characterisation of holmes to the usual mediocrity we have sadly come to expect . not richard roxburgh fault and i be sure he do his best in dire circumstance and but he do not have the physical characteristic or personality to play sherlock holmes few people do and and richard e. grant be possibly one of them . the opportunity be there and they totally blow it . why and oh why and oh why do not producer of sherlock holmes film do their research and i. e. read all the book and gain a true perception of those two incredibly well developed and documented character and sherlock holmes and john watson . and if they do not want to do that and why do they even bother . in short and this film suck .
