If you have never read Sherlock Holmes, this is a good movie

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2011)

If you have never read Sherlock Holmes, this is a good movie, very, very good. And if you have read Sherlock Holmes, or all of them as I have, it is better. Poor old Conan Doyle came to hate his creation, and killed him off. And it almost worked, he got so much flak about it, from everyone he had to bring him back. When Gilbert, the famous actor in the U.S. of that time wrote to Conan Doyle asking his permission to use the Sherlock Holmes character in his stage production, and with what limitations, Conan Doyle replied "Murder him, marry him, do what you like with him". This is a good movie, it has a good story. I would have like Robert Downey jr. to be taller, but you can't have everything. Enjoy.
