Poor

Rating: 5/10 (26 December 2009)

I'm sorry but this film is of very poor quality, as an adventure film OK but as Sherlock Holmes no way, Robert Downey is to fat for Holmes, in fact the actor who played Blackwood was more like the Holmes we know, and why did they pick an American actor to play Holmes which is a very British Character l'm sure there are some excellent actors who could have been better, Jude Law was quite good as Watson (having been in the Jeremy Brett TV series when he was a young man) also l did not like the way Holmes was always unshaved and in filthy clothes, one review has said that Guy Richie has made Holmes right for a newer audience why change things that a a proved worth, also one real bad error in the film Holmes says to Watson's bride to be how pleased to meet you at last, Mary Mosten came to Holmes in The Sign Of Four after receiving a pearl every year on her birthday so he had met her already Guy Richie should do his homework, l suggest that you watch the Jeremy Brett TV series or listen to the BBC Radio series with Clive Merrison and Michael Williams as Holmes and Watson, sorry but this film in my opinion only rates 5- out of 10
