adonis98-743-186503 Detective Sherlock Holmes and his stalwart partner Watson engage in a battle of wits and brawn with a nemesis whose plot is a threat to all of England. Even tho the casting of Robert Downey Jr as Sherlock Holmes proves to be alright the film as a whole is just meh. Director Guy Ritchie turns Sherlock Holmes into a somewhat buddy comedy starring Junior and Jude Law where there's explosions, one liners and lots of comedy that just doesn't work for me as a whole. It's not a complete failure of the movie but i think Junior should stick playing Tony Stark and Iron Man rather than Holmes especially since their making a 3rd one pretty damn soon for some reason i guess. (5/10)

r_hewitt The sequel was set in 1891 so this film must be 1891 or earlier. Eros wouldn't have been in Piccadilly Circus. I can use Google why cant film makers?

areatw I'll admit that I'm no Sherlock buff but I thought this was a fairly good film adaptation of the classic character. Despite a few naysayers, I thought Robert Downey Jr. delivered a convincing and entertaining performance as Sherlock - no actor could have pleased everyone playing such a popular character. The plot is decent, if a little shallow, and is aided by a smart and witty script.The best part of this film for me though is the first class cinematography and production value. Everything looks so classy and expensive and I've never seen London look as good as it does in this film. Honestly, this film is worth watching for the visuals alone. This adaptation of 'Sherlock Holmes' gets a lot more right than it does wrong and for the most part I enjoyed it.

theVade Sherlock Holmes just didn't seem to sweep me off my feet like some other films have done in the past. Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law were exceptional, and the sound and score to this film were absolutely phenomenal. The plot and story were great and the pacing was great, but I just didn't feel blown away by the film at the end of the movie. So with all that being said, I decided to give Sherlock Holmes a "Good" on theVade Review Bar or a 7 out of 10. If you haven't already seen this film, go out and do it right now. This film has some great moments and I believe it is worth your time watching it. Sure it might not be the most amazing film you'll ever see, but that's not the point. The point is to entertain you, immerse you, make you laugh, and make you want to uncover the mystery. And I believe that Sherlock Holmes nails that perfectly.Read more at theVade.
