I have loved and respected the character of Sherlock Holmes since I was in junior high. This movie by far adds a human, imperfect aspect to him that I found charming and quite moving. McClellan's whole body becomes a sad, doddering, regretful soul and ultimately, a changed man. The other actors, particularly Milo Parker, were mesmerizing. Now, I will have a NEW appreciation of the older depictions because of the artistry and loveliness of this film. Watch Basil Rathbone first and then Ian McClellan's superb take. Don't miss it! M

I have always loved Tom Hanks-- even in "Bosom Buddies" a thoroughly stupid TV series 40 years ago, but I loved him for being kind, touching, adorable, funny and strong in a reachable way. I almost turned this movie off because he was so mean, abrupt, OCDish, and dismissive. I kept watching because I can be all those things, too, and I also can be generous, a good friend, stable, sober, and funny. I truly think this life I live now is surrounded by idiots, injustice, dispassionate thievery, and pure evil.I also think people--- even knuckleheads---can be kind, funny, generous, strong, and worthy of love. KEEP WATCHING. breathing
