Rating: 8/10 (13 January 2010)

I came into this movie a little unsure of what the outcome would be. Robert Downey Jr. is never predictable and the combination of him and Jude Law made me a little nervous. Then add Rachel McAdams in the mix and I'm thinking it's gonna be an interesting ride. However, I was very surprised at how well they all worked together and how well they performed their roles. I've never been a fan of Jude Law up until this movie, he was pretty fantastic. Robert Downey Jr. was excellent in the role of a broody, cooky, way-to-smart-for-his-own-good, Sherlock Holmes, and Jude Law was pretty awesome in the supporting role of Dr. Watson. I do wish however that Rachel McAdams had been in the movie more because I loved her character and she was also fantastic in her role. I was amazed at the costumes and how beautiful they were. Especially Rachel McAdams dresses, they were perfect for the character and amazing for the period. Although the director did take some liberties in the technology and fashion of the period during the climax of the movie. McAdams is wearing a pants suit and there is a device that would have needed batteries to work. But it made for a fantastic ending, McAdams looked fantastic and the movie ended with a bank. Which was the whole point of the movie anyway probably.
