So, who else was hoping for Holmes and Watson to make out? That's the problem with making Watson sexy I guess, as opposed to being the rotund goofball he used to be.
The movie was all I expected it to be, with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law as leads and Guy Ritchie as director - there was plenty of wise- cracking and many cool action sequences. The story was fairly interesting too, though I have to say I didn't pay as much attention to it. But I liked that there was a big Reveal at the end where everything is explained. Very traditional mystery story.
I think the only letdown was Rachel McAdams, whom I usually like and think is talented but fails to keep up with the two snappy leads here. I also wish she got to kick more ass, especially while wearing the bustly dresses. I don't think I've even seen any women do Jackie Chan chopsocky in bustly dresses.
