Where is Miguelito Loveless

Rating: 5/10 (16 January 2012)

Yes Holmes in the movie is portrayed in the semblance of the original character - yes most know he was portrayed by ACD as misanthropic drug addict.
But this movie is more closer to the wild wild west TV series in its spirit- it's a matter of degree how much liberty Hollywood can take with the character and make him into a smarmy action hero. SH is more like Captain America at the end of the movie than anything.
Jude Law was good as Watson. And the interaction between him and Downey was good. But this still had the taint of "low-browing" it by Hollywood.
Notwithstanding some of the positives mentioned -- this movie is basically pablum.
