This is not like the movie, but it doesn't really claim to be outside of the title reference. Sherlock is a bit of a jerk, and quite frankly, you want him to get smacked.

First off, the illustrations are fantastic. I really loved the art. However, the story was short with very little plot or character development, so I ended up feeling confused and unsure what I'd read, with no motivation to read further issues.
