Rating:  - Nice little movie...
I really liked this movie as a teenager. I bought it and saw it again, and it was a delight to watch. Very good special effects (even compared to today's standards), and a very good plot.
I really liked how they took Conan-Doyle's characters, and worked with them without losing their essence, and they managed to build a very good story, compatible with the written works of this literary master.
I give it four stars because the actors could definitely have been better chosen. You can see Steven Spielberg's intervention behind this movie (he's one of the producers), it almost seems as he had directed it.
This is one of those cinematic hidden jewels, almost nobody remembers it but it is truly a good movie, at least, one worth having in your collection.
Rating:  - Young Sherlock Holmes
A Gem ! Spielberg's most underated achievement. A grand adventure !
Rating: - Entertaining Movie
I remembered seeing this movie when it first came out and I thought that it was great. I bought the DVD recently. My son and I watched the movie and I must say that I was still just as entertained as I was when I first watched it. My 15 year old son really like the movie too.
I also liked how Steven Spielberg envisioned the early meeting of Holmes and Watson as teenage boys.
Don't miss a chance to see this DVD.
Rating: - The Game Is Afoot!!
This "sleeper" of a movie is filled with action,adventure,and enough plot twists to keep Sherlock fans of all ages guessing.I thought the most interesting aspect was the old-English setting,a must for any Sherlock Holmes mystery.I highly reccomend this film for kids of all ages!!
Rating: - YOUNG SHERLOCK and HARRY POTTER.
I watched this movie on DVD today. Although hardcore Sherlock fans may consider it spurious, or even sacrilege, I found it quite entertaining. My appreciation was somewhat dampened, however, by the uncanny look and feel of a Harry Potter movie. With many hallucinatory scenes, it might as well have been subtitled "Holmes & Watson At Hogwarts Majoring In The Adventures Of Indiana Jones." Then it occurred to me that my attitude was absurd, since this movie was released ten years before the first Harry Potter book was even written. Due to the similarities in the relationships of the three main characters and their environment, they well may have provided inspiration for the original Potter story. In the film versions, set design and cinematography are remarkably similar. It is obvious that the Harry Potter franchise owes a huge debt to Young Sherlock Holmes. Be that as it may, if you like Harry Potter movies, you will enjoy this underappreciated movie from Steven Spielberg.
