i hat it . the movie make wander away from the book so much and it be almost painful to see it . first of all dr. mortimer be a young man and his age be the key in the opening sequence of the novel . by make him an old large man destroy the very beginning of the story . then and the main character in one scene holmes be use violence to get his way and which he never do unless the situation be life threatening . if we be beat people up to get answer then he would be a pretty dumb detective . besides that and this holmes be arrogant and a big snob . i be not so fond of the original character and but he be good than this . and watson be so undeveloped . he be like a enclosure to holmes and just sit there and do nothing and while holmes be babble on and on ( he never babble and he be a man of silent action ) . and the plot be change so much and i do not know where to start point out the wrong . i will only say and that barrymore be flash the light for the runaway murderer who just happen to be his wife brother . why do he do it the spouse be feed him and while his be hide before move to south america ( he never have the chance ) .
