Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
The acting in this movie is really good.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
This was most clever and entertaining episode. I absolutely love this interpretation of Sherlock Holmes. I also enjoyed they way the writers managed to go back and fourth in time. The excellent acting of Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman in these roles makes this one of the best programs to watch.The writing is terrific with a plot that had more ups and downs than a mountain range, more ins and outs than a maze and more twists and turns than a dozen corkscrews, in short it was a triumph. Starting with a Victorian-era impossible murder with an even more impossible murderer, guest appearances by all the previous supporting cast including a massively-bloated Mycroft, surely a homage to Sydney Greenstreet and the return of the master-criminal we've all missed, a premonition of another husband-slaying in a big old house after dark, a recreation of the real Reichenbach Fall climax of yore, an ingenious denouement anticipating female suffrage years later but perhaps the best thing of all was the promise of a new series to come. BRAVO!!!
Although a lot of people may not like this episode or find it boring, seriously this is one of the best episodes in the series if not the best. And trust me you never like it from the first time you watch it, you gotta watch it again 2 or 3 times. Every time you watch it again you begin to lock the chains and find the missing leads you failed to understood or the things you find boring. In the First time you watch it you may find it boring and scary, but when i watch it now all i i do is laugh hard duo to Watson's Personality and just keeping amazed about the brilliance of the episode directing. Everybody really watch it again this episode is pure gold and every single word is connected to the before and lots lots of quotes are taken from the other episodes. WATCH IT AGAIN, DO IT
In a Sherlock Holmes mind trip he is taken back to the 1890s. In a setting very much like that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would have envisaged, Holmes is a private detective, operating out of 221B Baker Street. Assisting him is Dr Watson. They are presented with a very baffling case. A woman, Emelia Ricoletti, publicly shoots and kills herself, only to appear a few hours later and kill her husband. Within the next few months other murders are committed by woman appearing to be Mrs Ricoletti. Even the police are thinking that paranormal activity is afoot. Then Sir Eustace Carmichael is threatened by such an apparition and his wife calls in Holmes and Watson.The idea of filming a Sherlock Holmes episode in the original time and setting appealed to me. It gave us a taste of what the series would have been like if it hadn't been contemporised. However, at the back my mind was the nagging suspicion that the writers had run out of ideas and that going back to the 1890s was a gimmick, and the series' jumping the shark moment.Ultimately it isn't as straightforward as an entire Sherlock episode set in the 1890s, so difficult to judge whether it was meant to be a gimmick or not. It ends up much more complex than that, and, to an extent, unnecessarily so. We have many jumps between the 1890s and the 2010s and it seems like style over substance.However, it is very entertaining. The 1890s murder story is very intriguing and is woven into the overall plot well. The modern day side is reasonably well done, though the Moriarty scenes seemed a bit self-indulgent and overblown.Overall, not brilliant but a pretty good episode nevertheless.
Sherlock never fails to amaze me, season after season Sherlock's standards are higher and higher.I watched The Abominable Bride with perception that its going to be a unique take towards the Victorian era or version of Sherlock, Sherlock and Watson will solve some crimes in old age that's it, that's how perceived it.But while talking to Moriarty all of a sudden Sherlock shakes up and the private jet lands and what the creators of Sherlock has done is they connected it with the last episode of Sherlock. Sherlock is in his Mind Palace or dreaming while high on drugs try to solve how Moriarty came back from dead.I think I got this amazing shock after a very long time, it was even better than Hans Solo getting killed. That was tragic and this is just amazing.I just want to congratulate the creators, writers and execution of Sherlock, The Abominable Bride is a masterpiece and I have already watched it 4 times.
