I was fallen asleep 3 times! I think it's a mix out of (very old) James Bond and Harry Potter. 4 stars for the fun and the Wing Chun fighting scenes. Definitely NOT a "Must See"!
Better than I thought. Certainly better than average action film with some interesting twists.
Great Movie! Robert Downy Jr is really showing why he was ever in the movie business... good performance on his part... The action was entertaining, the comedy was enough to crack me up for real, the mystery was tickling to the brain... good stuff!

I appreciate Robert Downey\'s fast talking and thinking style. It makes sense for someone as smart and observant as Sherlock Holmes. It could suggest some kind of autistic or aspergers condition. I found it hard to relate with the character as an action hero though. He always seemed to symbolize deductive reasoning over any physical qualities.
My rating of Sherlock Holmes:
Sherlock Holmes
The time is 1891, and the place is still London, but Ritchie can't be bothered with period details, especially dialogue. Noticing that the villainous Lord Blackwood (Mark Strong) has scratched bloody messages all over his filthy prison cell, Holmes quips, "Love what you've done with the place." Holmes scholars will cry their eyes out over this update from hell. Rachel McAdams is mere window dressing as a mystery woman from Holmes' past. In place of romance, we get cheesy computer effects (that collapsing bridge — please). Ritchie is all about the whooshing and headbanging, leaving no space between Holmes' words to savor their meaning. Downey is irresistible. The movie, not so much.

Overall a good film, with both Downey and Law complimenting each other nicely.
