A most pleasingly atmospheric rendition of the tale, noirishly photographed and moodily set, this is the version which probably would have delighted Conan Doyle the most. There is one important plot change which enables the beautiful Alice Brandt to enjoy both a larger role and a more intriguing part in the proceedings. This change also builds up the parts of Dr Mortimer and Lord Charles, yet at the same time provides a nice introduction to the is-he-sinister or is-he-a-good-guy Barrymore, deftly played here by Fritz Rasp.
Despite the sting of its well-developed story, the spellbindingly atmospheric direction and the engrossing performances delivered by the entire cast, many fans may find this version somewhat disappointing. For at least three reasons: As in the novel, the part played in the narrative by Sherlock Holmes, though vital, is minimal. And in this version, not only has no attempt been made to enlarge his role, if anything both writer and director do their best to minimize it. Holmes does not even make his entrance for half-an-hour, and when he does finally appear, he has his back to the camera. It is Fritz Odemar, as Dr Watson, who receives the more favorable camera angles. And there is a purpose in this. It is Watson, not Holmes, who figures as the main protagonist of The Hound of the Baskervilles. For the bulk of the narrative, Holmes disappears. It is Watson and Lord Henry (Peter Voss) who take up the running. The movie is almost over, before Holmes closes in on the villain. And even so, this is not the obsessed, self-important Holmes we are accustomed to see taking charge. Another problem is that the title hound itself does not figure a great deal in the action, a downgrading which will undoubtedly rate as another major disappointment for fans. And finally, it could be argued that the script gives too much attention to Conan Doyle's red herring, the escaped convict, and not enough to the real villain.
This said, it must surely be admitted by all, that Odemar's interpretation of Watson—intelligent, charming, level-headed, courageous and resourceful—is much closer to Conan Doyle's conception than either the bungling, inveterately stupid Nigel Bruce or the self-effacing Ian Fleming.
One other player deserves special mention: Erich Ponto (Dr Winkel in The Third Man) who seems exactly right for Stapleton. A difficult part, superbly played.

2021.9.22 老爷子yyds 期待你的新作品 简简单单的故事 非常的平稳了可以说是 但我是真的respect老爷子 91岁的高龄还奋斗在好莱坞一线 到底是什么支撑着你不空闲下来自己还在工作 这毋庸置疑只有热爱了..老爷子这样热爱电影的人才是真的不尊重 出一部尊重一部 毕竟91了..还有多少年呢 这部有点类似于骡子 反正都是公路电影 就是老爷子的老板想找回在墨西哥的儿子 他们夫妻出现矛盾实则是带回孩子可以拿到很多的赔偿 他去了墨西哥带了那个孩子 后面车被偷了就去了一家饭馆 联邦都在搜查他们 那家饭馆的老板娘也爱上了老爷子 两人虽然语言不通但境遇相同 没有老婆没有孩子都孤寡一人 老爷子和小孩在这生活好久教小孩骑马 帮助受伤的动物最后送他到边境自己回到饭馆找老板娘 但没看到有男人哭泣啊。。
看评分以为扑街了，看到一半两星预定，全看下来又觉得也没那么糟糕...还是逃不掉对东木的粉丝滤镜。
开篇几场戏并不好，没什么铺垫就直奔主题，其实也无需前景赘言，东木形象一出来大家就知道他是来解决问题的，这次故事里呈现的力不从心，处处妥协可能是东木到这个年纪自己的心态，好勇斗狠没有意义，寻得那一片温存才是归宿。很舒服，但很软的电影
pasaran mas de mil anos, muchos mas, yo no se si tenga amor la eternidad.
和第一部比起来还是无聊了点，大概习惯了无非就是正常人说的话他们都颠倒罢了，也就没什么新奇的了。不过也没很差。中庸吧。
好像比第一部更低幼了，电影院好多小孩来看，不过挺多画面其实可以拍成真人版r级片，肯定很带劲。其实比第一部差点，但是我真是太喜欢Wednesday这种性冷淡风了，喜欢到大峡谷都为她的离开下起了雨。
从骡子到哭泣的男人
dear dear Wednesday😂看的还是蛮快乐，喜欢这个风格
亚当斯版公路片哈哈 剧情有点弱但是音乐很好听
挺好。还有风韵犹存的墨西哥老板娘在小镇开着店，“Until we find each other again.”全片也正如老爷子面对暮年的老狗所说： “我不知道怎么治愈‘老’，但今晚你们也许应该睡在一块儿。” 放下Macho的辉煌成就，让Cowboy好好地睡一觉吧。
没有之前那么哥特了很可惜，剧情也比较容易猜到，浪费了豪华卡司的演技
【210920】5.5-不及预期。剧本应该是本片最薄弱的一环，中段的氛围还挺好的，结局拉胯。角色设置都像是搞笑的，莫名其妙的“反派”跟一厢情愿地相信公路上全是好人的一众配角属实不像是东木老爷子电影里的角色。小演员的表演也远不能让我信服这个故事。
这部更像是长得奇奇怪怪的一家人一起推一条拍过很多遍的剧情线了，公路旅行家庭关系疯狂科学家。。每个人在这一过程中的反应也都太正常人了。或许是因为我预设的期待值过高吧
91岁，要面对的迟缓、病痛、虚弱会使人越发察觉自己作为动物的一面，“我无法医治衰老”，但所有个体共享的“英勇”的品质，仍是有效的。

希望我能活到东木这个年纪，还能像他一样搂着自己的爱人跳个贴面舞。
分界线
好像没啥gothic味道了，就一个普通的挽救叛逆期女儿和家人关系的动画片，也并不好笑。
近年西方动画电影的通病 续集都差点意思 但这个family第一部人设已经立住了确实也没什么好explore的了......
这其实一部纪录片，那只macho（标题）的老公鸡就是伊斯特伍德本人，他之前还是只《骡子》，骡子是他的成名作通心粉西部片里的坐骑。这确实是一部纪录片。记录了90岁的肉身和电影活化石的奇迹。整部影片都有一种让人感觉呼吸凝固的紧张感，好像自己置身于拍摄现场…
