Quite boring.

Rating: 5/10 (26 May 2010)

I like detective series of detective movies. It's like Columbo; you already know who is the villain, but it's the question how to trap this villain.
So Sherlock Holmes starts good. You get to see the warner brothers logo in the street. That was beautiful done, this is immediately how the rest of the movie is; beautiful. When it comes to Holmes, Watson and Blackwood, I got the idea I was looking to Scooby Doo without an animated dog. Although the movie and special effects were beautiful, the movie itself was boring.
Then there is a female thief who had a relationship with Holmes. There are some scenes where she comes in situations where Holmes have to safe her. Well, I didn't care if she would die or not. Holmes is the main character. This woman cheats on him, so why would Holmes care for her life? Strange man.
The way Holmes calculates what he does, like fighting, was well brought into picture. It gets you to see how he thinks.
Jude Law gave a great performance. I was at the edge of my seat when he was blown away. Every time I saw Downey I was waiting for him to put on his Ironman suit.
So now Richi is thinking about making a sequel. Ah well, Scooby Doo got a sequel too.
