Nlogaxical – What am I doing here?

Been thinking a lot about the two hours of film I saw on Saturday evening that’s been consistently noted and accurately rated as ‘a film which is about two hours long’. The more I say about Sherlock Holmes and the Sodding Huge Robotic Spiders From Croydon , the less the effect on paper. So some brief thoughts;

- Turn the lights up a little bit? Either I’m getting old or things were way too dark (Not asking for Blackpool illuminations here, just a notch up, that’s all)
- Between Guy Ritchie and the editor, there was an evil plot at work to speed up and slow down the pace. The overall impression was that the film was playing off a 1980s Walkman with cheap batteries.
- Geography. My internal satnav hurt. Baker St, Pentonville, Westminster, all conveniently located to, er, Tower Bridge. We get that Tower Bridge (part-constructed, like a 19th century ROTJ Death Star) is the big ticket CGI item – but the constant reminders were a bit much. No, a lot much.

It wasn’t a bad film per se. Just needed some additional tweaking. Deserves a second chance in the form of a sequel – which looks possible considering how things ended.
