Quick Review: Sherlock Holmes (2009)

[jeriendhal]

No, not the one starring Robert Downey Jr., the other Sherlock Holmes movie made by on-the-cheap producers Asylum Productions, starring someone I never heard of as Sherlock Holmes and some other guy I've never heard of as Watson (who apparently was in Torchwood).

Now, while Arthur Conan Doyle did write about Sherlock Holmes and about dinosaurs, he at least had the good sense to keep them seperate. It's that kind of movie, expect it's not as fun to watch as it sounds.

I had to look at Asylum's website to find it, because there's no entry for that on IMDB that I could find.

The guy playing Watson played Ianto in Torchwood.

Finally found it by looking at Gareth David-Lloyd's entry.

Asylum Productions? Aren't they the people who made that schlocktacular flick Mega-Shark versus Giant Octopus?

That would be correct, though happily I've managed to avoid viewing that one.

Personally I found it a rather amusing movie. Even if it mangled the canon, and had a weird plot, and felt really cheap, and lacked extras, and... well yeah.
