Capital, Watson, capital!

Rating: 9/10 (27 December 2009)

As a lifelong Holmes fan, I was very much looking forward to this film and I was by no means disappointed. It's just excellent on so many levels. Can't wait for the sequel! GREAT STUFF: Robert Downey, Jr., Jude Law, Mark Strong, indeed the entire cast did a wonderful job. Watson's bulldog. The FIGHTS. The GUNS. All the design work (sets, costumes, etc.). The dockside explosion sequence. All the playing around with time(Here's what's going to happen/let me explain what just happened). Hans Zimmer's score is terrific as well. There's just a lot to enjoy here. Robert Downey, Jr. continues his amazing comeback, although it's something more than that. He was never as big as he is now, with so many terrific artistic and commercial successes under his belt in past five years. (Good night and Good Luck, Zodiac, Tropic Thunder vs. Iron Man, Sherlock Holmes, Iron Man 2) Good for him. Bring on the SEQUEL!
