Young Sherlock Holmes is surprisingly a very good film, Nicholas Rowe does a good job as the lead (interestingly he's also in the 2015 film Mr Holmes which stars Ian McKellen).
Directed by Barry Levinson (Rain Man) and produced by Steven Spielberg the film has good direction, a level of authenticity and great looking set designs which help the mood, the film's also notable for the first ever fully CGI character in a film (a knight if interested). Okay, the actual plot is a bit iffy and perhaps the villain could have been a bit more intimidating and witty in places but he's still a good character and fits the theme of the film very well, it's not as serious as other Sherlock Holmes films and is obviously aimed more towards children with its complexity but it's a refreshing change from all the other countless Sherlock Holmes films we have.
8/10: Enjoyable and a good reimagining of the Sherlock Holmes story
