Although Sir Arthur Conan doyle did not write about the very youthful years of Sherlock Holmes and established the initial meeting between Holmes and Dr. Watson as adults, the film "Young Sherlock Holmes" is an affectionate speculation about what might have happened had the sleuth and his partner met during thier college years. It has been made with respectful admiration and in tribute to the author and his enduring works.

---|---|---|---|---|
"One of the few really stylish and entertaining American movies of 1985." | ||||
"A perfectly agreeable family entertainment" | ||||
"The production is first-rate in all technical ways imaginable, but the villain that Holmes and Watson chase is not worth their intellect or time or ours" | ||||
"The film's imaginings about the life of the young detective are quite entertaining." | ||||
"While lacking the clarity and breathtaking speed which Spielberg brings to this type of material, it's agreeable enough entertainment. | ||||
"The young cast, which resembles a collection of Gerald Scarfe illustrations, acquits itself reasonably well, but is too ordinary to be heroic." | ||||
"'Young Sherlock Holmes' delivers all the ingredients that Spielberg addicts relish: action, effects, a cute fat kid, a pretty girl and a hero who's good with swords." |
