Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

sstair-843-795834 It only took a couple minutes of watching Frewer as Holmes to make me stop watching this film. Holmes is supposed to be arrogant of course, but never before have a seen a Holmes that was snide and belittling of Watson. It was too bad, because the production looked well done. But this version of Holmes was too much for me to take, and I turned it off.

sthrnfilly This version was okay to watch, but not to buy and keep in a DVD library. The story line deviations were acceptable, for the most part. Filming and atmosphere were also okay.Sherlock was played too "over-the-top." He was "in-your-face" SO superior to everyone else. Yes, Doyle's Sherlock Holmes was brilliant, but he was also subtle and stylish. Frewer's Sherlock dismissed just about every comment with sarcasm and ridicule. Yes, he was silently plucking out the bits of relevant information that would convince him this was more than just a ghost story, but it was very irritating. Watson's extreme dislike to pipe smoke was more a modern politically correct addition. Please.Sir Henry was fine. The Barrymores, while trying to be mysterious, seemed wooden. The best character was Stapleton. He was excitable and energetic. He didn't seem to get on my nerves like the energetic Holmes. Maybe it was because his manner didn't openly disrespect everyone else.The best choice is Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes. His "Hound of the Baskerville's" is definitely a buyer and keeper.

Trailrider Before I bought the DVD of this version of the "Hound of the Baskervilles" with Matt Frewer playing Holmes, I read the other user comments listed on the IMDB and I have to agree that the script was not very good and in fact, I found it to be somewhat poor in many respects. I also must mention that Jason London's performance as Sir Henry Baskerville was in my opinion dismal. He played the role as if the casting company went out in the street and asked the first guy they came across to please step in and take the role. I would think that Joe Namath could have done better but on the other hand maybe that is what London was trying to do. Maybe London was trying to put into the role such realism as a simple man pulled into a situation as an inheritor to a vast English estate that he played the role with a deadpan delivery of his lines. I wonder. On the other hand I was delighted with Matt Frewer's Sherlock Holmes. His physical appearance fit the role well and his particular charactaristics in stage presentation I think added an interesting twist to the Holmes character. As a Sherlockian, I like to see the differences that various actors give to the character. I would have liked to seen more of Frewer's Holmes in this film but the dismal script distorted and shortened the story so that the Holmes character is only seen in the first quarter of the film and then near the end of the film. In agreement with most of the other comments made on this version, If you are a film buff and a Sherlockian as I am, than this DVD is worth adding to your collection. If you are simply a fan of mystery films perhaps it is better for you to wait for this version to be rerun on TV or if you find it in your video rental store, the film is certainly worth the rental fee.

vickiann The bad news is, Matt Frewer (whom I have admired in other roles) is APPALLING as Sherlock Holmes -- a mugging, snickering, snide clown who defeats any belief in his intellectual prowess. The good news (well, sort of good) is that he is not on screen much in this way-too-corrupted version of the classic story. This version changed a vicious murderer into an innocent bystander, gave Watson a trendy but unwarranted (according to the literature) aversion to smoke, and skipped over the most telling scene of the book, Watson's confrontation with Holmes in his hidden lair on the moor.Kenneth Welsh, however, was excellent as Watson within the range allowed him by the script. Jason London was able to overcome the cutesy cowboy role he was stuck with at the beginning to become believable as the Baskerville lord.As a Sherlock Holmes AND a Matt Frewer fan, I had high expectations for this film, and was badly disappointed.
