Good, solid action adventure!

Rating: 8/10 (24 August 2010)

Wow! For the past last month, I've been catching up on movies I missed on the big screen last year. So far "Sherlock Holmes" seems to have been the best thing I missed. Sometimes I wonder who the hell calls the shots in Hollywood. I mean, Guy Ritchie to direct a big action genre movie? But hell, I also like it when I'm wrong, especially when I expect to see an IMDb 6 movie and get an IMDb 8 one! To sum it up, this is what "Wild wild west" should have been, and more! It delivers on the grass-roots level as well as on big scale entertainment. I liked the plot, I liked the treatment (opens up like a Sherlock Holmes novel with all elements falling into place in the end), I liked the casting... everything. And about Ritchie's straight involvement: I loved every single frame of this movie. I mean, this movie FLOWED. Great stuff. Give me Sherlock Holmes. With the same director, please.
