the good bit the sense of period be reasonably well capture and and it begin with some genuinely frightening scene . the minor character of the barrymore and the convict be also very well do . unfortunately and it be all downhill from there and richard roxburgh be an uninspiring holmes . the relationship with watson be clearly misunderstood and and personally i find his rather surly characterisation irritating and dr watson be suppose to be conduit for holmes brilliance and so u mere mortal understand what be go on not to behave like a spoilt schoolboy make a mockery of . the character of stapleton be too big and and far too obvious . no offence to richard e grant and but his manic and nervy and edgy style be completely wrong from the beginning . you be expect to believe that another claimant to the baskerville title and land would have hide in plain view in such a flamboyantly obvious manner and and not have arouse people suspicion . it then get worse . the violent end for miss stapleton be unpleasant and not in the book and and totally unnecessary . the hound be dreadful and some of the bad cgi i have ever see . the end of the story be change for no apparent reason and and be not an improvement . the blood and gore and merely gratuitous while holmes flounder in the bog and and dr watson sharp shooting act finally kill stapleton totally miss the point of the true end .
