Richard Roxburgh, The Hound of the Baskervilles (2002). Co-starring with Ian Hart, who is one of my very favorite Watsons. Liveblog here, but that runs very long, and you can jump down to the "Reactions" cut-tag and skip the blow-by-blow. In short, this Holmes is not my Holmes and never will be my Holmes -- it's a Holmes who absolutely does not deserve Watson -- but dear god that's one heroic, valiant Watson who is doing his damnedest to get everyone out of this story alive.
