Audience Member Although I am great fan of the stories of the BBC about Sherlock Holmes centered in Jeremy Brett, I must recognize this is not their best work. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Reasonably decent adaptation of the finest Holmsian work. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review austin v After seeing MI2 and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Richard Roxburgh became my heavy favorite to play Sherlock Holmes, so it was with great delight that I discovered this BBC production. The Hound Of The Baskervilles has been adapted many times, nevertheless this one stands tall as great film and respectful take on the novel. It's a shame that this was the only production made with this exceptional cast, and that Roxburgh's single appearance as Holmes was in a Watson-centric story. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member love it, got it on DVD, I thought it was good for a TV movie, this was the first time I watch the hound of the baskervilles before this I have never heard of it, Richard Roxburgh was great has Sherlock Holmes Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member An excellent reworking of this Sherlock Holmes story. Ian Hart's Watson is a strong, capable and intelligent character and Holmes is a walking computer and virtual emotional cripple. Richard E Grant is an excellent foil to Richard Roxburgh's Holmes. Great attention is paid to getting the Moor, The Mire and the Hound eerily right - not since the 1939 Rathbone version has this been achieved to such CRUCIAL effect. My only complaint is the nudge, nudge; wink, wink credit the production gives to the modern myth of homosexual undertones which was never even suggested in Conan Doyles original work. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Way too many changes in the story and in the characters. That's one way to butcher one of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's masterpieces. It's also a shame that this movie was made by BBC. Just avoid it and stick with the book.
