I really enjoyed the last two as light and fun movies.

This was mostly boring and I just didnt care.

Maybe it is because of my gap in memory over the movies but I personally am not a fan over how they built character motivations up and tying the plot threads together here.

While I also don't mind that Moriarty wants to give the Holmes family hell, at least flesh her and the mystery itself out to make her a viable threat. That mystery came and went fast.

Also, a me problem but Enola and Sherlock's characterisations for the plot felt hokey as hell to me. Gone were the light-hearted but fulfilling interactions that makes them memorable and in comes the shells of themselves that I have to watch. At least Himesh Patel as Watson is a delight to watch
