a little more brains and it would be perfect

Rating: 9/10 (28 January 2012)

OK, solving the mystery before half way through is really NOT my idea of a sherlock Holmes movie! he's supposed to outsmart us all so I really like the shrill of not knowing what's going on until the very end. It also makes no sense that all that a woman who outsmarted Holmes TWICE be tricked so easily by Moriarty whom Holmes is eventually able to outsmart as well. One could say she did it not cos she was so smart but because of her feminine charms but that would hold true for anyone but Holmes, that's just not who he is. A person with a perceptiveness of a high autistic person can't possibly shut it off over a skirt's as**.
The brilliantly put lines from the last one were also missing, like say "it's a question of professional integrity! what woman would want to marry a doctor who can't even tell id a man is dead or not".
well, In the end, I can't say I didn't like the movie. I laughed my ass off and everything else was as good or better than I expected! Downey is always a delight to watch no matter what crap he's playing, but it's quite sad that they left the brains out of the movie.
