MR.HOLMES (2015) Grade: C

I wasn't as keen on it as some people are. I expected a much deeper mystery than this. Well produced but no great twists & turns here.

I admit to putting off watching this despite the great reviews I’d heard from others because it did not sound like something I would enjoy. I don’t like the idea of seeing Sherlock struggling with loosing his memory, I could find nothing that said how much John Watson was involved in the story, (one reason I started this blog was to have a resource that mentioned this in particular in reviews) and just didn’t like much the idea of this movie.

But I have enjoyed things told beautifully, if sadly, before and decided to give it a chance today.

All the acting is good. Ian Mckellan is, of course, fantastic. The way the story unfolds, the sets of memories trickling in a bit at a time, was very well done.

The story itself was completely not to my taste at all. This Sherlock is a man full of regrets, struggling with dementia, and abandoned by his friends. He is lonely and says he always has been. This is cannot stand. I cannot enjoy. I will add my biggest problem with the story at the end under a read more, but let’s just finish this with one of my main points. There is little, practically no John Watson in this story. Sherlock I would say is out of character to me and what is done with John Watson out of character as well. I will read way too much fanfic to make this up to myself tonight.

I know that in the original stories Sherlock moves to Sussex and it’s often said John isn’t with him or around but this movie has John married, moved away, leaving Sherlock after rescuing him from his own depression and then dying before they can make up or say goodbye. I don’t care if these things happen in real life. I understand these are not the way I read Sherlock and John’s relationship. This is so abhorrent to me as to put me off the entire movie.
