10 Most Misleading Trailers Of 2015

7. "What Kind Of Film Is This, My Dear Watson?"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qng3t9RZk6Q The Film: Mr. Holmes What It Promised: A poignant and poetic showcase of Sherlock Holmes' very last case. What It Actually Was: There is a rare stillness to Bill Condon's adaptation of literature legend Sherlock Holmes. With its methodical pacing and quietly unfolding layers, it progresses with the same gentle pace in which Sir Ian McKellen's ageing sleuth wanders. The fact that this trailer consistently installs the notion of a major final case being solved might strike audiences as surprising considering the quaint nature of Mr. Holmes, but that isn't the biggest offense it makes. Fundamentally, everything that features here - beautifully edited to look like a prolonged affair - is actually finite nuggets either told in minor flashback, or presented as glazed-over filler. In fact, the large percentage of the film is about Holmes slowly losing his memory and psychical functions, and spending time with a young lad looking after beehives. Chances are a solid 30+ minutes are devoted entirely to either looking at bees, hearing about bees, or understanding bees.
