Twitter user @soapiermedusa, offered up, 'Here's a tip to save you a few bocks. #HolmesAndWatson don't see it. It was so bad. Half the theater walked out during it. And I love Will Ferrell but this one was one of the worst movies I've ever seen.'

@Coach_Devaney wrote, '@HolmesAndWatson is an absolute disaster. Had to wake up 3 other family members 40 minutes in just to walk out. Possibly overtakes Ishtar as worse movie of all time! Don't waste your @ or time!'

Adaptations of the Sherlock Holmes series have been popular since cinema became a popular art form, with multiples versions of the classic detective saga appearing over the last decade.

Benedict Cumberbatch and Robert Downey Jr. have both appeared in the title role in recent years, with Martin Freeman and Jude Law respectively playing the brilliant detective's physician foil, making the characters ripe for satire.

Unfortunately for Ferrell and Riley, critic aren't finding humor in their adaptation either, with Rolling Stone saying that Holmes and Watson 'is so painfully unfunny we're not sure it can legally be called a comedy.'

Another reviewer, Danielle Solzman, tweeted, 'I should have waited before putting up the worst films of the year because #HolmesAndWatson was one epic pile of cinematic disgrace and an insult to the legacy of Sherlock Holmes.'
