So So

I saw this over Christmas and though I did enjoy it, I feel there were some things wrong with it. I really didn't like Watson. I felt he was a horrible cold character. It's good that they didn't make him out to be a clown but they didn't show him as the caring person he was. Holmes had no personalty in this production. The settings and locations were brillant and full of atmosphere. The hound looked like a dinosaur from Jurassic Park. I couldn't make up my mind about Miss Stapleton and Sir Henry Baskerville.Sometimes I thought Miss Stapleton was a bit modern looking for the part. I didn't like the changes in the story. Holmes taking drugs was over done. I think the Hound of the Baskervilles will need to be made again.
