The commenters who talk about the Holmes in this movie being an action hero, must only know him from the Basil Rathbone movies. In the stories, Holmes was an expert boxer and could use his walking stick to great advantage against a…

Interesting, the reviews are over the boards on Downey, Jr. I found Holmes as quirky while the story had a forensic twist with interesting deductions. Both actors clever, humorous, conscious of each other, an undeniable bond,…

Guy Ritchie’s ballsy reinvention of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s super-sleuth turns out to be a thrilling comic book of a film, heavy on the action if a little questionable on the science. As far from Basil Rathbone’s dapper character as…

Action-packed, comedic, intelligent, brilliant! Be sure and watched the production film after. Guy Ritchey is brilliant. This movie does not disappoint.

Very Americanized version of Conan Doyle, I think. Downey's frenetic performance is not engaging--Sherlock should always be engaging, despite his eccentricities--and Jude Law provides inadequate support. Rachel McAdams as Irene Adler makes…

I recently re watched this movie and I was blown away by how much I still love it! It's funny, witty and so Sherlock while also being a completely different style than anything else out there. Every five minutes or so i was saying "this is…

Robert Downey Jr. with all the wit , charm and down right appealing to bring the all time favorite back to life. See Robert with a flavor of Ironman with a side kick of Watson to add some pepper and spice Jude Law has it all. A must see.

Saw the first one so had the feel for brotherly love to begin. Jude is cute and funny. Robert is cute and funny. Together was good synchronicity. Like the scene laying on the train coach floor. Great idea. FOR ME I thought it moved fast…

I liked the first one better, but not terrible though.

He's uncouth. He's unconventional. He's Holmes. His pulse never seems to race, especially with Robert Downey Jr.'s performance that adds a coolness to the role. He is methodically dismantling the mystery, mostly by happenstance, while…

not bad, mix of slow and action (matrix style) which I'm not sure I liked. Would have preferred more deduction. As always good banter, but not a super interesting plot (I never REALLY felt the conflict/edge of my seat)
Director Guy Ritchie's special effects work is at times pretty dazzling. The images of artillery shells slicing through trees in slow motion are, admittedly, cool. But once you get past those visuals, his story quickly wears thin. Watching…
Sherlock Holmes is really entertaining, especially when you have Robert Downey Jr speaking in a British accent. The movie is really interesting and the relationship between Watson and Holmes shows that. Holmes is always curious of his…

Yes, there is not much to resemble Conan Doyle's character, but the movie is so good, Downey's acting is so great, it does not matter. I don't think there is a single actor/actress I did not like in this movie. English is not my mother…
