- Quotes
Mycroft Holmes: Don't be smart.
Sherlock Holmes: That takes me back. 'Don't be smart, Sherlock. I'm the smart one.'
Mycroft Holmes: I am the smart one.
Sherlock Holmes: I used to think I was an idiot.
Mycroft Holmes: Both of us thought you were an idiot, Sherlock. We had nothing else to go on till we met other children.
Sherlock Holmes: Oh yes, that was a mistake.
Mycroft Holmes: Ghastly. What were they thinking of.
Sherlock Holmes: Probably something about trying to make friends.
Mycroft Holmes: Oh yes. Friends! Of course you go in for that sort of thing now.
Sherlock Holmes: And you don't? Ever?
Mycroft Holmes: If you seem slow to me, Sherlock, can you imagine what real people are like? I'm living in a world of goldfish.
This portrayal of Sherlock Holmes is closer to a James Bond type of character, not Sherlock. Cumberbatch does his best with terrible writing, but inevitably the real Sherlock would never kill people in cold blood nor act as judge and jury in the stopping of an individual criminal.
Holmes 'powers' are not power of deductive reasoning, but instead portrayed like 'super-powers' similar to a marvel character. HIs explanations are not reasoning or elimination of possibliities but big shows of self-aggrandisement.
Basically this is not Sherlock, but a terrible rendition by a half-hearted writer who wouldn't know a good mystery from his left hand.
