Hello All,
I actually saw this film on Sunday, I just took a couple of days to get around to writing it and for that I apologize. I’m gonna try and keep this one short so let’s get to it.
Plot Summary - Having just returned from Japan, the now retired Sherlock Holmes (Ian McKellen) lives in isolation aside from his housekeeper Mrs. Munro (Laura Linney) and her son Roger (Milo Parker) as he struggles to write a book about the final case in his career to, as he puts it, correct the mistakes that Watson had made when he began writing books about Sherlock and his adventures.
Pros - The cast is stellar and McKellen shines as the much older holmes. It’s also well written as the story does keep you engaged the entire time as it’s actually three mysteries in one movie.
Cons - It takes a while for everything to tie itself together but when it does it’s quite a pay off.
Final Score - 10/10
Honestly the movie is good enough that I’m willing to over the slight issues and honestly it’s just a really good movie.
I’m seeing Fantastic Four on Thursday….god help me.
Until then, I’ll see you folks at the movies.
