Sherlock Holmes
(Ben Syder, Gareth David-Loyd)
Yes you read correctly; dinosaurs! Not just dinosaurs either! This film also features a kraken, a guy in an iron man suit, a robot and a mechanical fire-breathing dragon that terrorizes London. What more could you possibly ask for?! (please don't say "logical plot")
Obviously this isn't Guy Richie's vision of Arthur Conan Doyles' famous detective, rather it's produced by a company notrious for riding on the back of Hollywood hits. Asylum is responsible for gems such as Transmorphers and Sunday School Musical, but more on those later.
Sherlock Holmes takes the cake when it comes to confusing plotlines.
!!SPOILER ALERT!!
Sherlock and his trusty companion investigate claims of a ship being attacked by a kraken. Which turns out to be a fake designed to steal gold, to make fake dinosaurs, to steal a water pump, to build a dragon, to burn down London, to frame a police chief, meanwhile the villian plans to blow up Buckingham palace with a robot that Watson has the hots for. *sigh*
!!SPOILER END!!
Despite making absolutely no sense, it is insanely fun and hilarious to watch. Watson is the chubby, fuddy Watson you expect, not the dashing Jude Law. And Sherlock is rather appropriately nerdy. The special effects also aren't dismal considering the film's B-grade heritage.
