Visually pleasing

Rating: 8/10 (22 February 2010)

As a fan of Guy Richie I was not disappointed. Mr. Richie has a great visceral eye and the production value was top notch. The lighting and the costumes were also first rate. Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law were outstanding with great chemistry while I thought Rachel McAdams was miscast. Nothing against Ms. McAdams but she is simply too young to be believable in the part. Mark Strong was fabulous as the protagonist.
The pacing was a little slow at times but all in all it kept my interest. The ending was especially pleasing as Sherlock Holmes tied out all the loose ends. The great sound design also added greatly to the experience.
It would be great if Guy Richie would do a series of Sherlock Holmes films.
