A new take on the old legend - Sherlock Holmes and the ever-present Watson are still on the case to unravel a nefarious plot to destroy the country, but this time he's just as keen using his fists as his mind. -- Chris aka Tarkin

star trek next generation episodes are better

I felt that they didn't show the erudition of Holmes as much as they should have, instead of showing him being kick-ass.
the mystery of the movie was impossible to figure out.
The fight scenes were spastic. Could you tell me the point of showing him work out the move in slow motion only to show it really happening in fast motion two seconds latter? I think it would have been better if they should the planing, then when they went to it actually happening have it not resemble the planing in any way.
Although Jude Law was great I can't get used to him being Watson. He's to young and to skinny.
I'm pretty sure this movie could have been great had it not come out against Avatar ( no comparison on awesomeness scale) and if somebody else had directed it.

Elementary

It's probably the best movie of 2009. I really liked how all of the supposed magic in the movie turned out to have a scientific explanation for it, not a supernatural one. It made it soooooooooo much better. But, I guess that's what Sherlock Holmes is known for, right? The one thing about this movie that I really hated though was that Holmes never once says, "Elementary, my dear Watson!"

I dont see anything wrong in this film its great

Unlike what other people thought about it I personally thought Sherlock Holmes was a great movie. Its takes place in Europe (UK) in about 1900 where the worlds greatest detective and his partner Watson try to slove the case on Blackwoods plot to destroy their country and to destroy their country Blackwood fakes his death and releases from the grave so people wouldnt know his plan to destroy their country.

The acting in this movie was phenominal especially Robert Downey Jr's role as Sherlock Holmes and Jude Laws role (I forget Jude Laws Characters name). The dialouge is great, the meaning is great, and the plot is great.

I found this movie really interesting and entertaining. It is a great movie and I highly reccommend it

Fun, but not that memorable.

An enjoyable, but fairly slight film. It's biggest strength was the casting: Downey Jr makes for an excellent Holmes, and has real chemistry with Jude Law's Watson. Mark Strong and Rachel McAdams are fine in their supporting roles, but the focus of the movie is very much on the main partnership. The story is fine, and races along quite nicely, with enjoyable action scenes and a script without any major problems. You certainly shouldn't be bored for the films duration, although I'd be suprised if you could remember that much about it in a weeks time. Overall, the film suceeds in reintroducing these iconic characters to a new audience, and does so well enough that I'd be up for the ineviatable sequel when it arrives.
