Roxburgh/Hart HOUN review

Time for a more coherent review of the Roxburgh/Hart "Hound of the Baskervilles"! First, a couple of things I noticed about the movie on a general level. I think I was in the perfect place to watch it - I've seen lots of adaptations of HOUN and I've liked them all pretty well, I have my own firm notions of what the characters are like and I don't expect a movie to portray them that way, and I know the Holmes and Watson's history and the placement of this story in the timeline. I think that you kind of have to, in order to appreciate why Watson is so angry at Holmes throughout most of the movie - it's refreshing to see him like that, when you're used to him just taking it. I would think that if you hadn't seen a lot of Holmes movies or read all of the stories lots of times, you'd be kind of like "O_o And why do they live together again?"

Costumes = YAY and scenery = DOUBLE FREAKING YAY. I've been to Dartmoor once, and that's what it looked like. Except it was sunny when I was there.

Anyway, possibly more about plot and stuff later, but on to the characters because that's what I like talking about XD

( Cut for rambling, as usual )
