Oh dear!

Rating: 1/10 (17 November 2010)

This has to rate as one of the most infuriating, frustrating films I think I have ever seen.
The good bits: Robert Downey Jr turns in a very credible and intelligent performance as Holmes.
The bad bits: It was a great pity that his performance is all at sea in a script that is a complete mess, and his back up is Jude Law -- the second most annoying and irritating Dr Watson I have ever come across.
The bad guy -- now there is an infuriatingly over the top villain. The constant fights, the heavy-handed suspend-disbelief stunts. The film never "settles" long enough for me to get into it. It leaps wildly from highlight to highlight without even a corresponding lowlight to slow things down a bit. It's just too much.
