Featured review
They turned Sherlock Holmes into a Hollywood Superhero.
Wow.. what a joke.
If you like a very muscled Sherlock Holmes, who is good at fighting, is running through explosions, and dodges bullets like he is in the matrix, then you will enjoy this movie.. Because they turned Sherlock Holmes into a Hollywood Superhero.
If you have seen Sherlock Holmes played by Benedict Cumberbatch you know how bad this was.
Unfortunately a lot of people like Hollywood Superhero movies so most people will like this movie, hence it high rating.
