Strays from the original story January 10, 2003
6 out of 8 found this review helpful
This review is based on the TV presentation on the BBC in Great Britain. The acting and general production are very good, but this film does not stick to the original story. Some elements have been missed out, and others have been changed quite radically. If you have never read the book then this probably won't wory you, but if you are familiar with the story then you may find these changes not to your liking.There are also some errors with regard to the railway scenes, but I'll reveal myself to be a complete 'anorak' if I detail those, so I'll leave it as a general warning!

Having watched this adaption of the famous Holmes story on BBC, Boxing Day, I have to say that this is the most thrilling drama out and will leave you on the edge of your seat! (I've seen it twice now and its still extraordinary! :) I didn't actually know the plot to the story before since I hadn't watched any of the previous adaptions and hadn't read the novels but since viewing I've already bought and read the book. It's inspired me to get the others too! This is most definately a MUST BUY!!
 A good adaption of a classic story.... December 31, 2002

To start with let me say that this quick review is not based on the DVD release but rather the original UK television transmission.
This is a very solid version of the often filmed Sherlock Holmes story. Where this very familiar story benefits greatly is in the acting as all cast members, especially the two leads, give excellent performances. Good direction, a wonderfully atmospheric score and top-notch production values are also a plus point. In addition the effects on the title beast are very well done with a mixture of both CGI and anamatronics in the same style as the creature in "Brotherhood of the Wolf".
This is a worthy addition to any Holmes fan's collection....
