The Musgrave ritual is one of those stories that in whatever format, be it book or television, that I'm not a great lover of, dare I say I find it a little uninteresting, and while the film is largely based on that text, it manages to be fairly intriguing.
It's a more traditional outing for Holmes, he's very much here in the guise of Detective, not a Spy, he's been called in to solve a mystery, not clear up Nazi spies or such like.
The amendments to the plot are interesting, making it a fairly interesting story-line, I must say that it is beautifully shot, it is so fluid and beautifully made. The production values are incredibly high, you almost wish some of the others in the series had such attention to detail.
Less banter between Lestrade and Watson, this movie took on a more serious tone I guess. It's a little slow in the middle, but the ending is great, boasting some real tension.
All in all it's a very good watch, 7/10
