Rating:  - yooung sherlock holms
this was a very good movie. it used charaters from Arthur Conan Doyles writings withou trying to copy anything. the writing was excellent and the cinamatography beautiful.
Rating:  - before Young Harry Potter there was Young Sherlock Holmes
I didn't see Young Sherlock Holmes until a little later in my late teens or early twenties. When I finally did see it for the first time, it become one of my favorites to watch. I thought Nicholas Rowe was brillant as the young future detective.I also enjoyed watching as well, Alan Cox as the young future Dr. Watson, and also Sophie Ward. I was pretty sad though, that her character Elizabeth HAD to die. Other than that, I will never get tired of watching this movie. EVER. To me it is definitle a classic.
Rating: - the young sherlock holmes
An excellent film with great special effects. Wish they had made a sequel.
Rating: - For Holmes Fans, and Others
Young Sherlock Holmes is an interesting, cool little film that a lot of people overlook. It's a little bit Harry Potter, a little bit Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.
It concerns the first meeting between Holmes and his eventual companion, Dr. Watson, set at their English boarding school. Holmes has to deal with young love, bullies and, oh yes, murderous Egyptian cults. Along the way, he picks up his famous pipe and hat, etc., with plenty of fan service (make certain you watch all the way through the credits).
The effects sometimes show a bit of early/mid-1980s, but othertimes they're still powerful (such as the Stained Glass Knight who was an early Pixar creation). The acting and pacing are all fine, though not flawless, but it's hardly the point; this is all about how fun Sherlock Holmes is, and having fun seeing him in his youth. There is, surprisingly, some real emotion near the end.
All in all, a fun and entertaining movie that fans of Sherlock Holmes will especially enjoy. Four stars.

I liked this movie when it came out in 1985...and its a steal
at a nice price here on DVD. The acting is solid...the story is engaging, and the special effects are GOOD. Brompton in this film feels like Hogwarts, and Holmes has a little Harry in him..
Still, this movie came first, and its as interesting now as it was in 1985.
