I haven't seen other Sherlock Holmes films, but I know that this is the best!

Rating: 10/10 (3 December 2010)

I give this film a 10 out of 10 rating for just that reason. It's so perfect in every way. It has supernatural events and cases that only Holmes would solve. The action of the film is mixed in with quite a lot of humor as well, including these moments:
1. Holmes thinks of a way to overcome a boxer in a ring in a few seconds. Then we see the events play out in real time.
2. Holmes wakes up naked in Irene Adler's room, chained to the bed. A maid comes in, and he tells her that beneath the pillow covering his groin is the key to his release.
3. Dialogue between Holmes and Dredger during the fight that starts in Reordan's laboratory.
4. Holmes attempts to make a silencer for a gun, which is obviously not working! Watson tells his patient that Holmes is probably nailing a picture up.
5. Holmes gives a turn by turn account of a carriage ride in which he was blindfolded the whole time.
6. The entire scene in which we see Holmes follow Irene Adler, especially when he (disguised as a homeless bum) rams the side of her employer's carriage.
7. Mrs. Hudson remarks that it looks like Holmes has killed Gladstone again.
8. A gypsy woman (paid by Holmes) tells Watson that marrying Mary Morstan is a bad idea.
