Critics Consensus

The lowest and vilest alleys in London do not present a more dreadful record of the adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson than does Holmes and Watson.

Ben Sachs Chicago Reader Watching this feels like getting elbowed erratically in the ribs. Feb 21, 2020 Full Review Mark Kermode Kermode & Mayo's Film Review It is indescribably bad. Jan 16, 2019 Full Review Robbie Collin Kermode & Mayo's Film Review All it's doing is, more feebly, what Robert Downey Jr. was doing ten years ago. Jan 12, 2019 Full Review M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut If you walk in late for Holmes & Watson, no worries. Rest assured the same three jokes will be repeated over and over for the entire 90 minutes. Rated: 1/5 Aug 17, 2022 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review The entire thing is embarrassing and difficult to endure. Rated: 0.5/4 Mar 3, 2022 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com One of the worst films of 2018. Rated: 1.0/4.0 Sep 10, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

alan g It doesn't evrn deserve 1/2 star. Ferret attempt at "acting" consists of one pose and an absolutely horrible fake british accent. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/14/24 Full Review Audience Member this movie is soooo stupid but sooo funny 🤣🤣🤣 i understand the ratings but trust me, if you like corny comedy you'd love this one. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/10/24 Full Review Alan g When is hollywont going to learn to stop casting these two together. They are absolutely horrible. Posing and stilted dialog are not acting. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/30/24 Full Review twitchy b I'm not going to bother writing a review because my unpopular opinion will probably just be hidden. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/22/24 Full Review Horror fan 4 This movie is hated and I dint know why. Eventually this will have a cult following. I really enjoyed this take on these legendary characters. Will and John knock it out of the park. Tim Treakle Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/10/24 Full Review Kurt M Stupid but hilarious. Its supposed to be an idiotic spoof on Robert Downeys Sherlock. Also with Ralph Fiennes as moriarty. With sooo many horrible movies out there I dont know why this one is rated so low. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/01/24 Full Review Read all reviews
