The people who had a problem with this movie were those who came in with the wrong expectations. Yes, the villain was easy to guess, and the movie wasn’t the usual Sherlock type with lots of focus on clues and detective work. That wasn’t the point of movie, or the book on which it is based.
It’s a tale of a girl coming into her own while she searches for her mother. And it just so happens that her family includes the famous Sherlock Holmes.
The acting and cinematography are beautifully done, and I applaud the director for being able to make Sherlock memorable (via Henry Cavill) without stealing the limelight from the protagonist, who was brilliantly portrayed by Brown. Brown does the balancing act perfectly, showing that her character isn’t a damsel in distress, is capable of taking care of herself and others, while not throwing the “females rule” agenda in our faces (looking at you, Charlie’s Angels, 2020)
