Not a bad movie!

Rating: 7/10 (29 December 2011)

My wife wanted to see Sherlock Holmes and we just missed seeing the movie in the theater. My wife wants to see part two that is in the theater now. Therefore, I bought her part one for Christmas before we see Game of Shadows. If you are a fan of Sherlock Holmes you will like the movie. Sherlock Holmes follows the series formula. The script has a supernatural mystery which Holmes is eventually able to solve using his intellect. Holmes logically deducts clues into conclusions. The characters are presented well by the actors and the script and acting melds perfectly. Guy Richie, the directer, interjects comedy and suspense into the movie perfectly creating a good pace for the film. I am happy that we watched part one first for the ending leaves a storyline for part two. I give Sherlock Holmes seven out of ten. Regrettably the movie's trailer gives the film no justice!
