   few visible scars

   From the moment I saw the poster I knew it would be bad..
   Then the word was it was rubbish, and I decided not to go.
   Then I heard is was so bad, it might be good.. But it's not. It's just awful.
   It's one saving grace? Somehow they resisted putting a fart gag in. (But that is probably in the deleted scenes dvd extra) 5 years 3 months ago

   There's a good comedy in Holmes and Watson somewhere, but it doesn't include Will Farrell. His idiot Sherlock is just terrible, while everyone else has some believability and funny shtick. But then, this is a movie that doesn't know what kind of comedy it should be. At its best, it has some fun with anachronisms and fools around with Holmesian tropes from across different media (most notably the Robert Downy Jr. version). At it's worse, dreadful slapstick and the leads acting like boorish morons. There are Airplane-type gags, but not enough to be in that style. There's a musical number, but just one, making you think maybe it would have worked better as a musical comedy. Heck, I would have rather watched the kid versions seen in the prologue for the length of the film. The REAL joke should be that Watson is the real engine for deduction, but his writing has always hidden that fact. It almost touches on that idea, but nope, Watson is also an imbecile. Committing to anything isn't really in this thing's DNA. Even the title. Why ISN'T this called Holmies as the posters suggested? It's a much better title for at least some percentage of the tone it goes for. 5 years 4 months ago

   I hate when movies just aren't funny. This was an abhorrent display of "comedy." 5 years 4 months ago
