dewlineIn which I discuss my opinion of the film.
Certainly, it was worth about ten dollars and over two hours of my life. I was moved to anger, to laughter, to shock. Pretty much as the cast and crew intended me. As an expansion upon the plot of "The Final Problem", I can accept it with thanks.
Thus, only one regret over the whole experience.
That regret is tied to one most particular scene in the story, involving Prof. Moriarty and...one other character. It was prepared and performed well enough...but perhaps it is that I am indeed too much a creature of the 20th and 21st centuries to accept it as presented. I wish that we'd had something very different for that other character.
Sidebar Note added on New Year's Eve 2011: I guess this counts as my last "movie watched at a cinema house" of 2011.
