Rating: - brett / everett
I think Jeremy Brett IS holmes.

This is brilliant.

Rupert convinced me.

Full stop.

If you like holmes give it a go.

I loved it...

Rating: - Pretty ghastly stuff
Starting from the fact that I don't like Rupert Everett as an actor, this one can't win as far as I'm concerned. And the idea of inventing another Holmes mystery simply to create a slightly camp vehicle for its 'star' is frankly tedious, like those 'in jokes' that nobody except the production team understands.
And any Holmes fan HAS now to compare anyone playing the detective with Jeremy Brett. It's not a question of needing to 'get a life' as one reviewer has suggested, but the simple fact ... Read More

Rating: - Cubitt strikes again
This was an opportunity sadly missed. Cubitt, after messing around with The Hound of the Baskervilles just for the sake of it, decided to pen an original screenplay.

Sherlock Holmes says this while studying the corpse of a young woman...a girl, really, born of a wealthy, aristocratic family who had gone missing. She was the second, and now Holmes has been brought out of his bored lethargy. He will find the killer, and the hunt will take him into some of London's noblest ... Read More

Rating: - An improvement over the same team's Hound of the Baskervilles, but Everett is no Holmes
After the crashing disappointment of the BBC's recent version of The Hound of the Baskervilles, the producers have taken a positive step in replacing the truly dreadful Richard Roxburgh as Holmes. Unfortunately, Rupert Everett is only a mild improvement. Less of a crashing ham than Roxburgh, instead he comes across as a rather narcissistic and disinterested confirmed bachelor rather than a master detective, constantly striking brooding poses but never once convincing that there's either a human being ...
