Steineded How sad is this?

Lightdeossk Captivating movie !

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Dr Jacques COULARDEAU This story standing all by itself is original in a way because it shifts constantly from what happens in the modern world and what happened a century ago or more. It is nothing but the story of a wife killing her husband but the murderess knows about the stories of the old Sherlock Holmes and she is going to trap him in an old story indeed, that of the abominable bride. Sherlock shifts from one period of time to another by using some drug, cocaine or heroin is not the point, to reach a state of consciousness that makes him cross centuries. And he is going to solve the case by this plying between the present and the past. He will be induced into believed Professor Moriarty is back and he will have to go back to that special event when he "dies" the first time in the water chute somewhere in Switzerland within a confrontation with Moriarty there.This visit to the past event will give him the true answer to the question: Is Moriarty still alive? After all, why not since Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are themselves still alive. Then the present crime is nothing but a simple riddle for primary school children that Sherlock Holmes solves in two seconds, maybe less.This passing from the 21st century to the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century gives the story some dynamism and makes the suspense eventful and active. It even enables the film to give the possibility to suffragettes of the older time to speak their minds against the male dominated society they live in. That's good and entertaining. But from the outside, since we are the audience hence outside the plot itself, it is quite common place to suspect the wife of a murdered husband, and the situation is so simple that there is no other suspect and no other solution. That makes the whole film an attempt to wrap a very simplistic story into a complicated set of slips, underdresses and dresses, and we, like mice in a big wheel of Swiss cheese, get lost in the lace. So this film works because we are such a good audience that we forget to remain critical and attentive. Just what Sherlock Holmes constantly says: keep awake, keep attentive, keep concentrated, don't scatter your brain power. But unluckily we do, and actually luckily for the film itself.Dr. Jacques COULARDEAU

szokia I love all the other Sherlock episodes, some more, some less, but this one is not one I will be watching again. It's silly, strained and trying way too hard. The weird make-up, the forced social message, none of it really worked at all. About the only part I liked about it somewhat was the retro look. The way they tried to explain things at the end was put together in a rather slipshod and really just silly, unsavoury manner. The story did not hold together very well at all. And it certainly did nothing to link it to Moriarty.Alas, it just wasn't at all enjoyable.

Parker Lewis I loved the going back and forth The Abominable Bride, with Sherlock's mind palace a major plot device in this latest Sherlock instalment, which debuted in the UK on Friday, 1 January 2016. In the UK there's a tradition for Christmas specials this follows in that fine tradition. You may wonder about holidays and ratings, but in the UK a relatively large number of people stay at home during the Christmas season and tune into Dr Who or other Christmas specials (although the cheap price air tickets to Greece and other spots probably sees more British folk spend the Christmas break in sunnier spots).

Umang Jain As we know ,the Moriarty was back as shown in last episode. This episode seems a little different in beginning,where Watson met again with Sherlock. But as the play proceeds it relates to the continuation of the previous episodes shown and its a kind of ecstasy to me .It was really awesome.Late we recognize that almost all the episode was a part of experiment in great Sherlock's Mind palace, to light out the shadow of how Moriarty was bought back with a dialogue "Miss me ?"(yeah it smirked). Sherlock relates the same to a very old case of "the Abominable bride" to assess what actually had happened.....Continuing to the episodes we were watching sherlock was descended from the aircraft with a dialogue by My-croft :"London needs you. Moriarty is back" sherlock was struggling on his own to get out of his own narrative mind palace.
