Perfect combination of great action scenes and witty british humor. Robert Downy Jr. is terrific for the lead role.

I was really disappointed by this movie. I expected a police inspector movie but it was much more like an action movie or a sort of super-hero movie with many clichés.

I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. I had no intention of seeing this movie. But Guy Ritchie has crafted a very clever tale and has reinvented Sherlock Holmes. The chemistry between Downey Jr and Law is fantastic, the humour in the writing is witty, and the movie packs a lot of thrills. 7/10, a good entertaining movie, worth seeing on the big screen.

In case ya didn't know, Guy Ritchie is more than a bang bang shoot'emup-mate film director. Mr. Ritchie shows it with this latest installment in the lengthy Sherlock Holmes film history that he has inserted a winner. There are times during this movie that you can smell the sewers of London and the freshly baked Mrs. Miggins' meat pies. Downey Jr. & Judd do their part in making you believe you are there watching it with Conan Doyle. This film's screenwriting by a trio of scribes (Michael Robt. Johnson, Anthony Peckham & Simon Kinberg) is never trite. Hans Zimmer is at his best musically and the costumes by Jenny Beavan are whimsical, mad, humourous but never stupid. This is rated an eight by yours truly - "a really great movie that you shouldn't miss". If I had one slight negative it would be that the film was (at 2hr & 19 min.) perhaps 20 minutes too long. But all in all - I am pondering that this may be my favourite Holmes and Watson flick since the one whose title escapes me - the one with Christopher Plummer. DJZigZag.

I really enjoyed this one. Love Guy Ritchies work and the tell tale signature scenes: Slash fast whip smart cut stop freeze with witty narration... and Robert Downey Jr is on a roll! Nice character, costume, set - altogether a really good movie.

Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law rocked this movie. The characters were believable and very witty. This movie is a 9/10 and I can't wait for a sequel!

I must say that I really enjoyed this movie. As a fan of the books, I think that RDJ's portrayal of Holmes and Jude Law's portrayal of Watson were great (although a little too violent for my tastes) I loved the soundtrack and the dialogue, and especially the interaction between Holmes and Watson. The only reason I didn't give this a 9 or a 10 is because a) I didn't quite find Rachel McAdams' performance as stellar as the others, and b) there was too much violence for it to be a truly faithful adaptation of ACD's Sherlock. However, I think Guy Madden did a great job with Holmes, even constrained by what Hollywood expects from its movies.

Poor sir Arthur... At least producers should have changed the name of the main character... Herlock Sholmes or whatever... poorly made parody on one of the greatest personages in classical detective fiction...

I really enjoyed how it was filmed. I liked the forethought and then how it played out. But in the end I found that a film about the world's greater detective wasn't about solving a mystery but more about changing Sherlock Holmes into a Victorian Crime Fighter. I left the theatre thinking that I enjoyed it but wouldn't really remember anything about it in a couple of weeks.

An innovative approach to Holmes character, unsuccessful at my opinion. Holmes is shown as an addicted alcoholic, drug abuser etc, always rescued by Dr. Watson... A total flip.

Loved loved LOVED this movie!! It's super entertaining to watch! I loved Robert Downey in this movie, he steals the show. Rachel McAdams and Jude Law were also really good. I would totally recommend this movie, it's light but gives you some things to think about nonetheless.

Oh Guy Pierce, why did not divorce we-all-know-who sooner? Fantastic story, marvelous actor, a joy to watch! My only drawback from giving it a 10? Rachel McAdams. Sorry, but she brought nothing to the movie. Could have cast anyone in this role to do the job she did. Choosing an actress like Rachel Weisz (if you absolutly want a Rachel) would have brought a whole other dimension to the character. My opinion of course. And since I am not a casting agent... oh well.

Nothing spectacular. I'm gona forget about this movie within a week of seeing it. Lots of holes in the plot. Didn't feel like Sherlock Holmes at all. He goes out on a limb to deduce the most complicated scenarios from the most insignificant details, but half the time you're like: oh come on! There's no way anyone couldve figured that out. It's like he already knew all the answers before accepting the case. Anyway, apart from Rachel McAdams it was pretty lame.

Ill keep it short. But first, seriously people this movie is GOOD 1. Lost of action 2. Good plot/story 3. Acting superb (he's easy to understand but sometimes hard to hear if people are laughing) 4. As said above this movie also has some very funny parts 5. Excellent ending, and you'll be excited knowing that theirs another one being made 6. Atmosphere is brilliant 7. Perfect length 8. Why are you still here? Go see this movie Negatives (in my point of view) 1. Robert Downy Jr. naked? Seriously (well to an extent) and theirs not even a side boob shot anywhere! Frikin cheap. 2. This is one of those movies where I dont understand why they dont just shoot the darn enemy the second they see him (works the other way as well)

Good movie, with an interesting storyline. Making it appear that Sherlock was gay kinda took away from what was otherwise an awesome movie.

Not your ordinary Sherlock Holmes movie, whereby deductions are made right away. So I was confused with that and Downey's accent threw me off and didn't understand him in places.

Just good enough. Nice to see Robert Downey Jr. back at work. He was good and the other guy also. Go see it if you really have a desire for Sherlock Holmes or late 19th century England. Otherwise you might spend your money on another one.

For a chick who knows not a heck of alot about the Sherlock series, this was a great movie. Action, comedy, a bit of everything to keep you on the edge of your seat. You were curious to see what trouble he got into next, and how Watson was going to help get him out of it... totally worth it!!

There is a lot of action and it is sometimes funny. I think I missed something as I was a little bit confused with the plot. But anyway, go and watch it, it will entertain you for a while.

Good action, good acting, and a good storyline made this movie very worth it. If your English is not perfect though you might have a bit of a problem considering the accent and some of the terms used. Overall it was original, and very entertaining.

I can't say it's a bad movie. Robert Downey Jr. as always, was brilliant. He reaches out and grabs the audience pulling us into his performance. I expected more from Jude Law. He didn't convince me that Holmes was the supportive sidekick. The film felt dark - lighting, scenery, characters. Definitely a rental but not for the big screen.

Pleasantly surprise by this one... my husband wanted to go more than did. Fun effects and Downy and Law played very well of each other! Had trouble believing McAdams in her role though, despite being a fan of hers.
