I always look forward to a remake of a classic, especially Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's work. However, this 2000 movie version of The Hound of the Baskervilles was virtually inauthentic and disappointing.
Sherlock, played by Matt Frewer, had a contrived English accent, was arrogant and frivolous. It was the worst Sherlock rendition. Others also had disingenuous false accents, not genuinely belonging to the period, and, thereby, falsifying and degrading the movie itself. The moors were incorrect and delusive. The voices were slurred and the plot ambiguous at times.
The only saving grace to this remake was Dr. Watson, played by Kenneth Welsh.
