These actions would be out of innocence, and his unawareness would result in laughter. For instance, when Sherlock Jr. imitated every movement the culprit of the watch did in…

Holmes was not just going to await to be bitten by a snake and perish miserably. A second thought is that Sherlock Holmes had not a clue of where Dr. Roylott was located in the chamber adjacent to the one he held a secretive stakeout inside of. Finally, the audience can agree that Dr. Roylott should have been…

show Sherlock's actions without them ever being disclosed to the doctor. Additionally, many scenes do not even show Holmes or Watson, instead focusing on other characters and events, such as Lord Blackwood's crimes and Irene Adler's connection to Professor Moriarty.

It allows Guy Ritchie to present the action in a more linear way, instead of having to jump back…
