Tremendously well!

Rating: 10/10 (31 May 2010)

When I watched that movie in cinema, I was very suspicious. We in Russia are spoiled (in a good way) by our excellent TV series that were praised in the UK, so the new version was a bit of a red herring to me, as well as a red rag. But then, I watched it and later bought a DVD and watched again, and then I must say - this is a tremendously well-done film! Robert Downey JR has done a great job and his Sherlock is young, vivid, often ferocious, funny and really witty. he embodies that spirit of adventure that he loves so much. And then, there is that old, dirty, smelly, muddy London with gas lamps and filthy streets... The spirit of the time, despite some minor goofs, is depicted here very well. I loved the film due to its bright tone, fast tempo and mild humor. That is a real treat and a must-see!
