Last night I went to see the movie, Mr. Holmes.

It was FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's the story of an aged Sherlock Holmes who is living with a house keeper and her son. He is starting to lose his memory and wants to write about his final case to correct the story that Dr. Watson wrote about it.
The movie is beautifully filmed, written, and acted.
It gets an A+, Two Thumbs Up, *****, and any other top ranking you can think of.
The three main characters deserve Academy Award nominations at the least.

You are the second friend here who saw this last night! I want to go see it and thank you for posting the trailer. What is the name of the man that plays Sherlock, I like him a lot but I can't remember his name or what he was in before.
Hugs,
Helen

It's Ian McKellen.
If you like him you should see Gods and Monsters. Another GREAT movie he starred in.

I would like to see this film as I am a great fan of Sherlock Holmes. Sometimes an actor can make a character his own, like William Shatner is Captain Kirk, Telly Savalas is Kojak etc. The British actor Jeremy Brett made several series of the stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in the 80's and he was by far my favourite Holmes. However, as this film is about Holmes as an old man, I would judge it on it's own merits and I'm sure Ian McKellan is wonderful as always. (Robert Downey Jr's films were manic!)

There is a series of books - sorry i'm too tired (lazy) to go looking for the author - in which an older retired and bored Holmes meets an extremely intelligent and clever young woman. He trains her in his methods and marries her.
The books are told in her voice as she becomes the active partner but he is still the master of deduction

I definitely want to see this. I love Sherlock Holmes movies and have read all the Doyle stories at least twice. ;-)

It's really too bad these kind of movies don't get the audiences they deserve. :(
