I absolutely pity you as a fan of Sherlock Holmes if you need a film that is 'sensational' to your standards for you to enjoy it. And to your point, yes, I have read where many Sherlockians have said they 'enjoyed' the film and were pleasantl…

I am writing a Screenplay based on "The Valley of Fear",(for 2 years) keeping it straight Conan Doyle, but this story needs a lot of edits and changes to flow correctly on screen. I can go on and on about this project email me if you want to discuss. I knew this would be a challenge and boy has it.

- Favorite Holmes:
