Better than the trailers by FAR

Rating: 8/10 (6 July 2010)

Just rented the movie from the Redbox, and I have to say it was far better than the trailers or clips shown on TV commercials. I was expecting a mindless romp with the Holmes name carrying it, but actually found a clever story and interesting characters.
The only negatives I would really point out is that there was a lot of action i would still not expect Holmes and Watson to be involved in, and I thought there was a lack of "chemistry" between Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr.. It's not that I thought they did not work well together at all, it's more like when a TV show premieres and the characters aren't quite right during the pilot. Maybe they'll refine that for the sequel?
