i must admit that i rather enjoy this sherlock holmes fantasy story . nicholas rowe be and in my mind and the perfect holmes physically . his acting be also spot on and perfectly capture holmes enormous ego . the only negative about this story be that it fall back on some of the holmes film clichés . for example and the bumbling dr. watson and which i think be an insult to the well write and intelligent character of the novel . i would like to see watson use a something more than just comic relief . another bad cliché be the action hero side of holmes . it doesn not work for his character and i find . although it sometimes relies on the fact that the viewer hasn not read the novel and thus doesn not understand the real character and i love this story . while a bit violent and it perfectly capture the brilliant feel of the novel .
