And the dialogue is as sly and superbly delivered as always. There's some terrific acting, especially between Sherlock (Benedict Cumberbatch) and our main villain. "The Abominable Bride" also cheerfully skewers another excellent recent film and the twist employed there. It's unexpected, too, as the film I'm thinking off probably appeals to a different fan base. The similarities are just too much for this to be a coincidence - it's just got to be a well done (and a damn fun) homage. I'd also say that it strongly, strongly parallels a movie that I happen to love - right down to its surprise plot device, key character interactions, and a symbolic act by the main protagonist in the climactic scene. Also, as good as the trailer was I can say that it offers much more in its story than you'd expect. I will say that I loved it - I'd rate it a perfect 10, as I would just about any episode of this amazing TV show. ![]() What can I say about the "Sherlock" Christmas special, "The Abominable Bride?"
