Thoroughly enjoyable

Rating: 9/10 (5 February 2011)

I have never seen a Sherlock Holmes movie, so I have nothing to compare this version with. I found Robert Downey, Jr. to be absolutely amusing and very entertaining. I sensed a "Captain Jack Sparrow quality" in his portrayal. I liked how they made the Dr. Watson character to be smart and not some bumbling fool. I've read some of the other reviews, and I'm having a hard time understanding how some can just flat out criticize this movie. To each his own, I guess. The plot is a little far fetched, but so what? After all, it is just a movie. I highly recommend seeing it. And, by the way, the credits at the end of the movie are enjoyable as well. Well done.
