A disgustingly underrated film

Rating: 9/10 (6 July 2016)

I can't understand why the film has such a low score, it was a great film with a very original and rarely used theme, and it was executed masterfully.
The story is brilliant, intelligent, interesting and tense. It's an action movie, yet manages to strike a good balance between story and fight scenes.
The puzzles were very interesting and clever, and I love the way Holmes' deductions and predictions were presented.
Both Downey's and Law's performances were top notch.
The music is just perfect. Very unique, yet perfectly fitting, with a good balance of sounding smart and badass.
I also really like the take of a troubled genius on Holmes, I feel his personality was really elaborately made.
It leaves a good hint for the sequel as well, which is just interesting enough to keep you wondering, but not ruin the movie's ending.
All in all, definitely deserves a very solid 9, maybe even a 10.
