This movie is based on a novel for sir arthur conan doyle. The novel is great it has many turning points that grab your attention until the end. I was disappointed when I saw this novel turned into such a bad movie like this. The directing was very bad, there were many scenes that were shot very badly and many scenes were exaggerated and the director didn't focus on the brilliance of sherlock holmes as after I have seen the movie I found that sherlock holmes is a great fighter with a normal brain and I don't like to see this. These two stars were given for the novel as it is great, but if I have the opportunity to rate the directing only I will give it no stars without hesitating
