A remake of "Batman Begins," not Sherlock Holmes

Rating: 6/10 (26 December 2009)

I just saw a remake of "Batman Begins" - it was called "Sherlock Holmes" with Robert Downey Jr.
In both films, the charismatic leader of a secret society attempts to use fear (and chemistry) to rule the world, and at the story's end, the hero's most legendary villain is mentioned, dangled as a carrot in front of audiences' eyes... but you'll have to wait for the sequel, "The Dark Sleuth".
Entertaining in spots, and at least some of the action scenes were fortified by showing Holmes using his brains before landing his punches, but really you could have applied any character names to Holmes and Watson as any similarity to the characters Downey and Law played is purely coincidental.
