Movie Synopsis:
Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson investigate a mysterious ghostly bride. We've been here before - but what if this wasn't the modern day but the late Victorian period? What if the world's most famous consulting detective and his best friend lived in a Baker Street of steam trains, hansom cabs, top hats and frock coats? Welcome to Sherlock in 1895!
About Movie:
Sherlock: The Abominable Bride was an interesting and arty take on the Sherlock story that intertwines itself a bit with the start of episode 4, but loses any real impact it might have had due to it being lots of artiness but not enough substance.
Whilst this episode was quite unique in what it tried to do, you can’t help but realise the episode is just a bit (and I use this in lack of a more to the point word) pointless. Instead of focusing on a certain investigation or story arc the plot ping pongs at first between beginning its journey and prematurely ending it and then between the old and new. There is this lack of any real point of what is going on, and the reward of watching this episode is completely unsatisfying.
Despite this, chemistry between Cumberbatch and Freeman is as great as ever and we do get some catchy bits of dialogue. The acting is great overall but at some points I believe they overdo the time periods speech and line deliveries come out oddly.
However, one thing this episode does incredibly is setting up an extremely creepy atmosphere to the episode, with a very dark tone taking place amongst the whole episode and hopefully indicating how dark this show is about to go. There were plenty of times where I genuinely felt unsettled. Maybe this episode was Mark Gattis dibbling in a bit of Sherlock horror.
The episode also provides a few good laughs which has become expected within the series but not all jokes land on two feet.
Overall I let this episode off with the fact that it isn’t actually what season 4 is, merely a spin-off of sorts. Nevertheless, the episode felt meaningless and unsatisfying, and therefore deserves itself an average score.
