When bad movies happpen to good actors...
Jensen had Devour, Jared had New York Minute, Misha had Stonehenge Apocalypse and now, Gareth David-Lloyd has Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes.
Gareth plays a fairly decent Watson given what he has to work with although none of his costumes fit -- one jacket is about two inches short in the sleeves and his waistcoat is easily three inches too short in the torso. The actor playing Holmes must be about the size of Richard Hammond because Gareth looks enormous next to him. Holmes cliche's are tossed hither and yon while Holmes canon is ignored. The movie features a kraken, a dinosaur, a steampunk iron man suit, a fire breathing dragon and some of the worst CGI I've ever seen. And I watch a fair bit of crap.
Also, they've totally lifted Holmes' study from the Guy Ritchie movie.
Plus they've put a dense and extensive wild wood in downtown Victorian London.
Holmes' older brother's name is Thorpe. He used to be Lestrade's partner until he got shot.
Sherlock's actual name is Robert Sherlock Holmes "...but who'd listen to a detective named Robert Holmes."
At one point Gareth is tied to a steampunkish rack (there's a gyroscope) and screams as though he's wondering what the hell he's doing in this movie. Now, in all fairness, British actors don't believe in waiting around for the perfect part; they work for their living. That said, he maybe should have waited a few more days...
Oh, and I almost forgot... there's a killer robot.
If they'd added a ninja zombie, this movie would have had everything. Except decent writing, directing, acting, and special effects.
