this film be target towards fan of the spielberg production of that time and such a gremlin and goony and consider it be write by the same guy who write those two film . and it be very similar too and with young people a the lead and a lot of special effect . this be my favorite movie of that year . for some reason and it do not do well . some critic complain the action sequence and special effect be not appropriate for a sherlock holmes story but i think the whole film in general work well and and the character be very well portray . i be really disappointed the dvd have absolutely no special feature though .
