I get it...this was made for 15 year old girls. I could have gotten into it anyway. If they'd even tried to be faithful to the Sherlock Holmes stories. The writers are obviously smart enough and educated enough to know better. Or I guess they just don't care.

In either case, just call it something else because this has nothing to do with Sherlock or his older, smarter, but far less energetic brother, Mycroft. Those two aren't even in it. Just more Hollywood drivel that ties itself to their shirttails.

Yeah this film looks to be a bit feminist and I guess its audience is teenage girls. None of that bothers me. The aesthetics are great, the actors are fantastic, the writing is witty and interesting (at least what I saw of it).

But they lost me at Mycroft - literally 10 minutes into it and I was done.

The only redeeming fact is that Hollywood has been doing this to Holmes for 100 years, so this is nothing new.
