Fantastic art and dialogue

Rating: 10/10 (16 July 2010)

I would have given the movie a 9 but for the previous post giving a 1.
>>Quck Rant<< Its a shame that when Hollywood does actually green light a great movie featuring one of America's few genius actors that someone thinks it TERRIBLE??? really, terrible....
Sad to see a person that's so much of a dolt who can't keep up with a script that moves quickly, therefore run to the only thing their slow minds are capable of... spewing boring drivel and convincing themselves they are so terribly smart.
Anyway...
What a great movie!! filled with beautiful artwork of Victorian London, Dark, richly colored cinematography, Lively music, a rich broth of characters and a plot filled with surprises.
After reading many reviews here, I learned about the creation, unfortunate re-working and finally, bringing to life of the real Sherlock Holmes' character. What a genius Robert Downey Jr is... He can really make you think of what Holmes was thinking... The very small facial nuances, the mannerisms, the physicality of the character's fight scenes... absolutely fantastic.
I am keeping my review short as to not give anything away... and there are many excellent, detailed reviews here already.
If you haven't seen the movie please get the HD version and enjoy the richness of this great comical adventure.
