Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Lawbolisted Powerful

SunnyHello Nice effects though.

JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

bbinningokc This was a very entertaining movie. Being a Sherlock Holmes fan, I have read all the original books. This is the closest depiction of the original character I have seen. It is however, more exaggerated towards action. All the other movies and depictions have zero physical prowess for Holmes. In the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle books, Holmes is portrayed as an expert boxer, fencer and an expert with the singlestick or cudgel. He was also portrayed as a physically strong person in the original books.I also liked how the movie was current with the technology of the day. The first voice transmission using radio waves was in 1900 and 1901 by 2 different independent people. I would expect that in the late 1800's of the movie, a binary on/off use of radio waves would be a first step.This character is also shown as more disheveled with his apartment and his person. This is also more in tune with the original books. I do like the old Basil Rathbone movies made in the 40's as well as most of the other portrayals (Benedict Cumberbatch series). However, they do not fully portray the full breadth of the character in the original books. Unfortunately, the pseudo intellectuals, who have obviously never read the original books, use the old movies and current shows as the guide line. They give this move a "1" because it is "Not like the original character" or the tech is beyond tech of the day. In reality they wanted "Jane Austin" or colorized version of the old Basil Rathbone movies. What they got Sir Arthur Conan Doyle on steroids.If you are looking for a more action version closer to the original books (although exaggerated) this movie is for you.

torstensonjohn I did not hold any expectations while watching this as I had heard many composite responses. Going in I felt this was going to be a LONG 2 hr film with no real substance. I walked away more than pleasantly surprised the film was directed by Guy Ritchie and produced by Joel Silver (Die Hard, Lethal Weapon), Lionel Wigram, Susan Downey, and Dan Lin. The adapted and brilliantly written screenplay, by Michael Robert Johnson, Anthony Peckham, and Simon Kinberg, was developed from a story by Wigram and Johnson.Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law portray Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson respectively Law is clever, uniquely compelling to that of Downey's prowess as Holmes. Downey's performance showcases his diverse ability to delve into a character and make it his own.. Set in 1890, eccentric detective Holmes and his companion Watson are hired by a secret society to foil a mystic and warlock style craft of magic, a sinister plot to expand the British Empire by seemingly supernatural and dark means. Rachel McAdams stars as their former adversary Irene Adler and comes across feminine nut strong for the time of the century. Mark Strong portrays villain Lord Henry Blackwood methodically and conceptually dark, almost with a devious and mystic presence. I thought the concept of the film brought a different style and approach to the legendary Scotland Yard investigator. It was well paced, and drove the characters nicely following the plot. I give it a 7/10

adonis98-743-186503 Detective Sherlock Holmes and his stalwart partner Watson engage in a battle of wits and brawn with a nemesis whose plot is a threat to all of England. Even tho the casting of Robert Downey Jr as Sherlock Holmes proves to be alright the film as a whole is just meh. Director Guy Ritchie turns Sherlock Holmes into a somewhat buddy comedy starring Junior and Jude Law where there's explosions, one liners and lots of comedy that just doesn't work for me as a whole. It's not a complete failure of the movie but i think Junior should stick playing Tony Stark and Iron Man rather than Holmes especially since their making a 3rd one pretty damn soon for some reason i guess. (5/10)

r_hewitt The sequel was set in 1891 so this film must be 1891 or earlier. Eros wouldn't have been in Piccadilly Circus. I can use Google why cant film makers?
