History YMMV / YoungSherlockHolmes

* OnceOriginalNowOverdone: With CGI being so ubiquitous now, it's hard to appreciate just how mindblowing that stained glass knight was at the time. To put it in perspective, the sequence is less than one minute long and yet it took them four months to create it!

* EndingAversion: It can be tempting to disregard the last act of the film due to how much more sad and creepy it is than the rest of the film, particularly with [[spoiler:Elizabeth dying, and Rathe revealing to have survived as Moriarty, and thus will get away with her's and other's murders for a very long time.]]

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: The cultists, performing a human sacrifice, chant a song which rips off "O Fortuna" from ''Carmen Burana''.

** Most of the hallucinations, [[BuriedAlive especially Elizabeth's]]. Chased by Rame Tep cultists, Holmes, John and Elizabeth flee into a foggy, snowy cemetery. From beneath a flat gravestone, the hand of a corpse reaches to grab Elizabeth's ankle. The gravestone [[Film/{{Scrooge1970}} has vanished to reveal an impossibly deep grave]], into which she falls, screaming. At the bottom, from the earthen walls, skeletal hands reach to claw at her. High above, her recently deceased uncle shovels soil and dead leaves onto her. As a leering, top-hatted corpse chisels her name onto a gravestone, she can only sob with terror.

* [[ViewersAreGeniuses Viewers are British]]: The SdrawkcabName clue of [[spoiler: "Eh tar"]] being backwards for [[spoiler:"Rathe"]] is a lot harder to spot if you speak a [[UsefulNotes/AmericanAccents rhotic]] accent than a [[{{UsefulNotes/BritishAccents}} non-rhotic]] one, since with the former you're unlikely to recognize the implied "r" at the end of [[spoiler:"Eh tar"]] in pronunciation (pronounced [[spoiler:"etah"]] in the movie) in the first place.

* {{Narm}}: The faces that [[spoiler: Rathe's sister and [[TheDragon Dragon]]]] makes when [[spoiler: she dies via accidentally ingesting a poisoned dart]] are so ridiculous that they turn [[spoiler: her death scene]] into this.

** The priests hallucination, especially the way it's built up. He's all alone in the church one winter evening, lighting candless for mass... and then he hears a strange tinkling sound from above, coming from the stained glass window. Normally just portraying a knight and a bishop, the knight has suddenly drawn his sword... then the noise comes again, and when the priest looks back, the bishop is dead, and the knights sword is bloodied. Now scared, he keeps staring at the window, which begins to shake, and finally shatters, the shards forming into the knight, which leaps out of the window and advances on him! Out of his mind in fear, the priest runs out of the church, screaming in terror, where he's promptly trampled to death by a carriage.

* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The Stained Glass Knight. This was the first time CGI was combined with live-action and is still pretty convincing to this day. It was also nominated for Best Visual Effect at the Oscars, [[AwardSnub but was beaten by]] ''Film/{{Cocoon}}''. Bonus points for it being made by Creator/{{Pixar}}.
