CAUTION: This movie has an IMDb rating of 3.4 out of 10.

With 9,102 votes as of this moment, it may get better or worse in time, but it sure doesn't bode well.

I almost watched it but I haven't yet and paused it to share this opening quote. In doing so I looked it up on IMDb to post this movie poster image only to discover it's terrible rating. While I'm often disappointed I try to watch most of the Sherlock Holmes variants. If I do get around to watching it I'll post a review below.

Turns out it wasn't a bad movie. But it sure wasn't a great movie. I don't even know if it was a good movie. It was okay. But then I was also doing other things so it didn't have my full attention to feel the real pain of the awkwardness.

It utterly shat all over UK and it's culture. I wasn't offended but I could see how some stiff upper lips might be crusty about it. If anything, that was a positive in my opinion, even if it was poorly done.

The writing, story, characters, and acting weren't good. There was little point. The direction, editing, production quality, casting were good. The comedy belonged in a bad sitcom for slow people. There was nothing memorable other than they were trying to be funny with nothing in the script to work with.

There was nothing clever about this Sherlock or his humour, and this was the greatest tragedy of the whole thing.

As a parody it's 10 years late to parody 2009's Sherlock Holmes movie.

This article addresses an important issue that needs more attention stumble guys. The solutions you proposed are practical and thought-provoking. It's refreshing to see actionable steps for creating positive change.

I paused it to share this opening comment, but I haven't watched it yet. In the process, I checked its rating on IMDb to upload this picture of the movie poster, just to find out how bad it was. I attempt to watch most of the Sherlock Holmes variations, even if I'm frequently let down. When I finally get around to watching it, I'll review it right here. bitlife game

As far as the whole thing regarding Watson being the villain wordle, Sherlock Gnomes did it better.

The article provided me with a new perspective on a topic I thought geometry dash was already familiar with.
