I grew up during what was effectively the golden age of Amblin Entertainment, the production company founded by Steven Spielberg, Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall. During the 1980s the company was on one hell of a hot streak. Besides Spielberg's own films, it gave us Poltergeist, Gremlins, Innerspace, The Goonies, Batteries Not Included, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, An American Tail, and the Back to the Future trilogy. One of the key feature of Amblin films was that even though they weren't always directed by Spielberg himself, they still felt like they could've have been directed by Spielberg (the words 'Steven Spielberg Presents' would be loud and proud on all the posters). With this film it feels like someone just gave Barry Levinson and Chris Columbus the script for Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and said “Do that, but with Sherlock Holmes”.
