Quite a nifty plot

Rating: 8/10 (6 February 2010)

The movie tries to remain spiritually faithful to the iconic figure of Holmes, although for many, it may not be the Holmes one is used to. Robert Downy Jr. & Jude Law were excellent together, they got it right on the first shot, the chemistry between them was really on point. (I guess thats because they're great Actors). Also I think If Robert Downy Jr. keeps it up he's going to have Hollywood on lock as the go to actor for the next couple of years. Overall the movie was very enjoyable and I can see it being a good re-branded franchise. So I dare to recommend it if you haven't seen it yet. , I found the film enjoyable and an homage to what's gone before, giving Holmes humanity, displaying his dark days and neuroses as well as his brilliance. Downey, despite his total lack of Holmesian physical attributes, succeeds - and Jude Law is the perfect Watson. If you're a staunch purist, skip this one.
