Review of Young Sherlock Holmes (1985) by Zakki M — 14 Sep 2007

This is a well-done film greatly made by 3 brilliant filmmakers: Steven Spielberg (Producer), Barry Levinson (Director), and Chris Columbus (Writer). You can see a lot of aspects from this film were used in Columbus' excellent Harry Potter films and Spielberg obviously let them copy the murdering cult from his film Indiana Jones & The Temple Of Doom (1984), but they're done so well, who really cares? Levinson also gives the film a very human feel.

And the performances are all reasonable for a family film. Not the greatest movie I've ever seen, but still a good one, which is entertaining and fun for both young and young at heart.
