A Perfect Adaptation; True to the Original Characters, and Fresh

Rating: 9/10 (7 February 2010)

I wasn't sure what to expect when I first walked into the theatre.
Shortly after the first lines are said, you know this will be a good film. The time period is so realistic. There's just the right amount of humour to make it clever, but not too much to make it too silly.
Robert Downey Jr. makes the character his own, and Jude Law as Dr. Watson keeps pace.
The mystery is excellently set up and well executed.
I've seen this film twice at the cinema, and I still had a great time even after knowing how the case is solved. Action fans, suspense fans, comedy fans, and/or history fans will love it. :)
