The 2nd Worst Holmes Effort I Have Ever Seen
Nov 4 2003
Format:DVD
I knew little of this offering, but am such a Holmes freak I had to order it. Frewer is absolutely awful, and certainly responsible for making these four movies unbearable.
These films are only slightly better than Christopher Lee's German production of "Sherlock Holmes and the Deadly Necklace".
Don't be tempted by the low price. This set is not worth the price of postage. Save your money for the MPI Rathbone series.
family fun for sure
July 3 2004
Format:DVD
I bet Mr Frewer knew that kids would be watching so he gave them a very funny version of Holmes that they would love. It worked. My kids can't get enough of this guy. I've now introduced them to kid friendly versions of Doyle's works and they love reading them too.
Four Fun Films
Jun 27 2004
Format:DVD
This collection of Canadian is a lot of fun, and well worth the $18.
There are only a few minor problems:
1. London seems too clean, and gives away the fact that ti is filmed on a soundstage.
2. The Dr. Watson character is too old.
3. Matt Frewer, who plays Holmes, is a bit of an overactor.
Otherwise, all four films are a lot of fun to watch, well made and inexpensive movies.

a collection of quality family fun
My nine year old nephew loves this collection of Holmes mysteries. These episodes are mysterious, funny, action packed, and down right creepy at times. Read more

comedic, but superb
I have suffered through many less than entertaining Holmes efforts in my 63 years. There's been Doyle's shoddy later works, awful prints of Arthur Wontner's films, lumbering Jeremy... Read more

Frewer skewers Holmes!
Matt Frewer is completely miscast as SHERLOCK HOLMES in these valiant attempts to bring Arthur Conan Doyle's classic characters to life. Read more

What! An eccentric Sherlock Holmes ! What next ?
The various reviews of this release indicate some slight disagreement as to its worth. The cause of the dispute is clearly the portrayal of Holmes. Read more

Different, but quite fun!
Although Jeremy Brett will always be my ideal Sherlock, Matt Frewer gives an absolutely terrific performance as the great detective in this 4 episode DVD collection. Read more

fun viewing and a real deal
The four Holmes adventures in this set are all fun viewing. The actors playing Holmes and Watson make a great team, but Holmes is not what I expected. Read more

a Holmes for the whole family
I've tried Brett, Cushing, Lee, and Rathbone, but always there were members of my family who were less than captivated...until this DVD set. Read more

Frewer is thrilling as Holmes
I have never been a Matt Frewer fan, but his interpretation of Holmes is extraordinary. How nice it is to see new life brought to the character of Sherlock Holmes! Read more

DIFFERENT BUT ENJOYABLE
Having grown used to Sherlock Holmes as either Basil Rathbone or Jeremy Britt (and in my opinion they are both EXCELLENT), at first I did not like Matt Frewer's interpretation of... Read more
