45.) Mr. Holmes [7/27/2015]

It's hard not to like Ian McKellen, and this was a role which seemed to be written for him; that said, the movie, which examined the role of memory and the nature of knowing along the backdrop of post-WWII Europe, seemed really muddled in places with ideas and story pieces feeling undeveloped (which left me to wonder if the book, A Slight Trick of the Mind, might be a better way of telling this story), and also the movie also didn't need to have Sherlock Holmes in it, as there was nothing particularly unique about the detective in the film; in short, no bad, but not really good either.
