the appearance of the holmes story be a revolution in narrative . the transition to film be tricky enough and but they more or less stand on their own in spite of their rich history . but by this film and the series be pretty much play out . the story have nothing to do with detection at all and instead some clever protection scheme . sherlock would never have do such a thing . we have the complete transformation of watson from a trusted collaborator to a buffoon and even make a selfreferential comment at the end about be an incompetent actor . and we have a pretty girl . it all too sad to see . ted evaluation 1 of 3 represent you can find something good to do with this part of your life .
