Holmes and Watson reviewed by Mark Kermode 

I think the review could have stopped there

He didn't need to say anymore...we all got the message...

😂

Next stop; The 5 Live C Reily interview....

Hahaha I loved he ripped into it knowing he's next door, reminded me of that love actually bit lol

Czen de la Serna-Limbago 2019’s motto

Well Mayo is always looking bored lol

Then he was killed....now its time for Holmes & Watson to investigate.

I was a little but annoyed at SM impatience. These films deserve the derision that's due and MK has the platform and the ability to do it in spades. If SM gets bored, annoyed or impatient with someone who's doing his job then you you might question why he's part of it in the first place. In any case let's hope SM was lacking sleep or something that caused him to cut MK off.

@@Quint1975 Mayo has been wonderfully bored and grumpy for years. Long may it continue.

They released it in the "dump months" too because it's when studios expect their films to tank.

What about Into The Spider Verse? That was great and it was released in the “dump months”

@@adamclinton8241 It was released in December. Dump months are Jan-Feb.

Why was it even made? Surely they knew it was garbage from the start

@@johnplatt8565 Then again, Netflix took The Cloverfield Paradox off Paramount's hands after poor test screenings. They also brought Mowgli from Warner Bros. Neither are completely terrible, there's definitely worse films out there.

I'm not sure if Ferrell is to blame for this but, yeah, nothing has been more harmful to comedies in recent years than exactly this phenomenon. Yes, Curb Your Enthusiasm and Best in Show are brilliant but most comedy needs finely honed scripting to work at all.

@@ilash81 to be fair i don't fully blame him he went for something to separate himself from the pack back when he was playing second fiddle in films like 'old school' and he got his own fame, and I won't lie his randomness caught me out early on with some chuckles but then it never stopped. I think I heard a reviewer who was close to someone on the set of 'cop out' and they said to them Tracy Morgan was showing up Bruce Willis for ad libing and they gave the right response in explaining that's because Willis is an actor in the real sense of he needs a script. I blame the lazyness in the people making it from the producer to the director to the script writer they arnt even trying just cashing in.

@@ilash81 I suppose should be just thankful its been awhile since films that where 'meet the Spartans' & 'epic movie'

@@joeodonnell921 Man, you can say that again. And I did really enjoy those early will Ferrell movies but the Other Guys is probably the last time I really enjoyed one of his films. But yeah, I'm with you: I don't really care if he started the trend or not, but the fact that ad-libbing has become the norm rather than the exception does just scream of laziness, especially in terms of writing.

@@ilash81 and I think it holds him back I think he could act with the right roles and he seems a likable guy but if he just wants keep doing this leave poor john c Reilly out of it lol guys such a talent.

Will Ferrell's career should be taken out the back and shot. His output over the last 5-10 years has been woeful and thus seems like it was a new low. It would be better to stop than to keep coming up with this stuff.

Let us hope.

I loved the love guru xD

Damn near. He’s yet to recover.

It's not nearly as funny as the BBC series either

Just described a good percentage of American alleged comedians or comedy actors frankly, you can throw Jim Carey straight in that bin as well as Adam Sandler, theyre all rubbish.

Optimistic Whovian hmmm a disagree with you on Jim Carey there. Jim Carey is also an impressive physical comedian, as annoying as he can be when he speaks too much. There are some films where he is truly brilliant.

@@spartanhoplite3753 Jim Carey has a few really great performances, but his usual exaggerated acting can be really annoying. He's doing the worst thing a comedian can do: acting funny.

You clearly haven't actually seen many of Will Ferrell's movies or are just negative.

Didn't do Sam Kinison's career any harm?!

One of the best heard in the colonies as well!

SonOfSeth Imagine Mike and Jay, with special guest Mark, doing a re:View. I, for one, would clap.

He’s the best because when he is subjective he acknowledges it. Too many film critics can’t separate objectivity and subjectivity (e.g. Peter Bradshaw who I used to like a lot)

Henry Gerard My opinion of him plummeted when he said Amy Schumer was funny? WTF!

because people want to hear him rage about it, producers know what audience wants

@@Patrick-jj5nh would this have influenced his worse ten films of the last ten years list , i wonder? :D

They asked him because Mark gets clicks and Robbie gets... (tumbleweed).

They reviewed it for me

The BBC is a public service broadcaster, and telling people not to see this film is very much a public service.

I agree brilliant film

chunkycake101 blame my friends shitty taste In movies

According to the Hollywood Reporter, audiences have been flocking out of cinemas on this one.

Ferrell was good in Everything Must Go.

Well he's no Coen Brothers

I know :) I went for a google in sheer hope that it's someone else... and it is, phew!

Funny thing is, it was also a different director named Cohen that Bill Murray agreed to do the voice of Garfield thinking it was one of the Coen Brothers.

@@notworthyourtime9799 Bill Murray had done the voice for 'Garfield' in animated TV shows in the 1980s. That's effectively why he did the films.

@@ethanjones1327 Not at all. Edge of Seventeen and Love, Simon are two of my favourites of the past two years. What I'm trying to say is that usually teenagers in a cinema get the reputation of absorbing whatever nonsense is targetted towards them. And yet groups of them have rejected Holmes and Watson, showing that they have a better grasp on what is quality. The Edge of Seventeen and Love, Simon are genuine examples of not playing down for this audience.

@@ethanjones1327 I see where the problem is. Shall reread. Although in my defense I was probably writing it at a stupid o'clock time. Love, Simon was in my Top 10. Well good for you. My advice is check out cheap days at your local cinemas and see whatever is playing - no matter how obscure. No need to spends lots of money. Film is for all. My favourite film last year was Bad Times at the El Royale. If you haven't seen it, treat in store for you.

@@ethanjones1327 I bought my mum a Limitless Card so she could see more. I saw 132 of last year's releases. And still not enough! I always say that Awards are numpties. It's never up to an Awards Ceremony to tell us what movies are good or to watch. It's up to ourselves.

@@ethanjones1327 Hey 117 is much more impressive then in your circumstances. I had to go to several cinemas including the one I work at, the indie cinema owned by the city's University and other locals. And you're quite right. Moonlight wouldn't have gained anyone at my cinema if it wasn't for Oscar buzz. Well exceptional good luck on this. I look forward to reading your reviews. Film forever. Ama veg out now on Marvel.

Eastleigh hampshire?

@@pestopizza2001 Yes

@@Epicurus341 Harbour Lights is bloody lovely :)

I think there is one.

There is one around on YT and it's superb listening. It actually helps with closure on some of those films you grudge having spent the time and money on viewing.

Completely agree

I seen it wasn't as bad as they say but wasn't the greatest either, they could have left out the Scottish lady.

Must admit I found it hilarious. So that's two of us!

Hell yeah

Yeh I usually don't care about Mayo he seems perpetually nonplussed about life in general but interfering in a review all cos he's bored is killing the entertainment for why people tune into Kermode in the first place. We certainly dome come to hear Simon sighing at life for a millionth time.

But what are you British or American?

@@brendanroberts7949 american

but to be honest I can enjoy filthy movies haha

@@redpenink12 thanks for the clarification.

I think he was being sarcastic... Step brothers is bad but Holmes and Watson is on another level
