Good movie but nowhere near as dark or as biting as the novel. I think id like it more if I hadn't read the book and been aware of how powerful the novel was. Acting and pacing are good but gantry has almost growth/redemption which is way different?
Also imagine living in a world where powerful men can be destroyed by affairs. I don't know her.
Anna may wong is gorgeous and I want her dress so so badly. Girlie was serving so much cunt it was wild. Watson barely talks tho and Holmes is also sorta just a guy. Mystery is okay (inspired and then there were none)? But not much to write home about.
Pacing is a little weird/rushed and it's not super clear how certain things happened (like how do they know the monster killed the girl?). That said did a good job capturing the tragedy of the monster esp the monsters terror in the windmill scene and his murder of the little girl. Short and focused on the central theme.
Watson throws hands for Holmes but Holmes nearly blows everything and gets himself killed because he's a theater kid who can't help but monologue.
