You used to think that it was so easy, you used to say that it was so easy, but you're trying, you're trying now

I never thought I would have to use Gerry Rafferty song lyrics to describe my utter disappointment for a movie, but by god, the movie was so disappointing that I could just imagine the late Rafferty pointing down towards Guy Ritchie from heaven and saying "Haw haw!", knowing that his song was quite fitting for this stinker of a film.
Here's a fun fact: I was in London earlier this year, and I visited the Sherlock Holmes museum. One thing I noticed was that they did not have any of this movie featured in the house, nor did they have the movie for sale in the gift shop, and it's obvious why: they don't want this wankery of Doyle's classic in 22IB Baker Street.
Basically, if you were to to take the characters and place them in a dumb action movie, you'd get this movie in a nutshell. Furthermore, the performances are AWFUL. Sorry, but Tony Stark as Sherlock was not convincing as Sherlock. Watson was maybe OK, but that's all the compliments I have for the acting.
Furthermore, the script is bloody awful. It's as if Guy Ritchie read a Sherlock fan fiction and thought "hey, this would be a GOLDEN film!". There's hardly any memorable dialogue in the film, and the wooden attempts at humour are just embarrassing.
Honestly, just avoid this stinker at all cost.
