only one quick thing to point out . if holmes be believe to be bear in 1854 and then in 1903 he be 49 and rupert everett be about 45 when he do the film so he be certainly in the correct age range . in fact if story be really to be do faithfully and then from 1887 to 1893 and the actor in the role should be between 33 39. in any event this be never bring up because of the belief that holmes be an elder statesman . remember he be 60 around the time of world war one . so please give all of u a break with this age nonsense . the overall production be well mount and since the original story have be do so well by jeremy brett and a new pastiche always fun because it be new . we be sometimes marry to these movie be complete retread of the old story . the reality be that new story can also have value of flesh out and perhaps explore situation we have not see holmes in before .
