Robert Downy Junior and Jude Law were really amazing in this movie...It definitely caught my attention and kept it throughout the whole movie.
I have never read Sherlock Holmes or seen previous shows/movies so I didn't have any expectations. I enjoyed the movie. I love Robert Downey Jr. - he's such a good actor and yummy.
Caution. The movie was interesting enough, however, it is NOT Sherlock Holmes. Law's Watson was OK. However, Downey's Holmes is awful. He is not true to the novel character at all. He has no grace or wit, just muscles. Most of the movie is about him fighting physically and quite often he seems an imbecile. He is not quirky, he is just rude. Irene Adler IS NOT A SLUT! She is a clever woman ahead of her time, who really loved the prince in the novel. If you are a fan of the novel you will be disappointed by the misrepresentation. However, if you like an action flick, this movie is not bad.
I wasted two hours of my life that I will never get back watching this movie. It was by far the worst I have seen.
I guess in the next film Holmes cuts his hair goes to the Americas and travels into the future to star in a Die Hard movie. I like Downey and Law but this isn't true to the characters.
Definitely one of the best movies of 2009. Robert Downey Jr's(Golden Globe winning) performance was amazing. A nice finish to the year!
GREAT MOVIE!! The BEST movie ever!! IT'S A MUST TO SEE
