Well, aside from everything else, it was so bloody preposterous! I mean, I get that Sherlock Holmes was always verging on the edge of the ridiculous but, honestly. I think I'm just a bit of a Holmes purist! Like you said, though, it was just an action film with pretty, slashy boys in it, under the guise of something great. Did not like it, at all. It dragged awfully, too, I can see why none of you have lasted the distance!
