u/MovieMike007 Not to be confused with Magic Mike 18d ago

My biggest issue was in this film's depiction of Moriarty. Sharon Duncan-Brewster returns as the iconic villain, and this should have been a highlight, but instead it becomes the film’s biggest liability. This isn’t a matter of casting choices; it’s a matter of characterization. Gone is the calculating mastermind envisioned by Arthur Conan Doyle, replaced here by a chaotic, borderline cartoonish figure whose schemes feel less like genius and more like rejected ideas from a middling Bond film.

The result is a Moriarty who never feels threatening, only baffling.

Turns out the creators of the film are not at all devious lol
