Sherlock Holmes Vs. Dinosaurs. And Robots. And Dragons.

This may just be the greatest movie ever made.

That trailer kicked Ass, but didn't we just come from a new Sherlock Holmes already? Like just last year?

That's not a robot, that's a guy in Power Armor.

Steampunk Iron Man to be a bit more precise.

Hmm... I wonder if this is going to be the second step that starts a wave of "classical detective (maybe even continuing to be Holmes) takes on strange and/or seeingly divine acts and exposes the elaborate truth behind them" mystery movies.

That's an Asylum film, i.e. the most shameless producers of mockbusters on Earth. I doubt it's worth anyone's time.

No.

I've seen it, it's not great. There are random plot holes, the CGI is very obvious and poorly done, the Spring Heeled Jack of the publicity materials is not named ANYWHERE in the film and during the showdown with the Iron Man rip-off, he randomly calls Sherlock 'Robert' and switches back and forth between the two names. That did lead to one of the greatest sentences I've ever heard though: "*after the fight*...It was several weeks before I remembered to ask him about the name."

Yes, the asylum films are always so tempting, but it's a trap.

I have watched this movie 4 times now. I am going to watch it again. It's so hard to figure out what the fuck is going on in such a wonderful way.

Your mileage may vary, but I enjoy it because it has Torchwood's Gareth David-Lloyd, who gets top billing despite playing Watson, and clearly couldn't get better work. And deliciously camp Malcom Reed

It's probably one of the Asylum's better movies. The acting is mostly competant, it's a delicious caricature of what people think Sherlock Holmes is, and the twists at the end drive me crazy every time trying to figure out what the hell is going on in this movie. For a fan of Sherlock Holmes or Torchwood or something its definitely a great guilty pleasure.

What if you're a Sherlock Holmes fan who doesn't like the idea of pitting him against dinosaurs, robots and/or dragons? I mean that's just silly.

It's a Sherlock movie with dinosaurs and Gareth David Lloyd. I'm sure you know from that whether you'll buy it or not.

Dinosaurs are terribly overrated.

Dinosaurs are terribly overrated.

BEGONE, BLASPHEMER!

No seriously I hate this "OMFG DINOSAURS ARE THE COOLEST THING ALSO ROBOTS AND NINJA PIRATE ZOMBIES WOOO" gushing phenomenon. What are you, nine?

whether you'll buy it or not.

Besides, Pirates of the Caribbean is cool. Though, I don't think they're ninjas.

Thank you, Irony Adams, for at long last giving me an opportunity to use my favorite quote ever as a rebuttal to something:

C.S. Lewis:

When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.

Niiiiice.
