Guy Ritchie's untraditional interpretation of Sherlock is just as much fun as it is disjointed.

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. Sherlock is back and ready to make another movie of him in action. Robert Downey Jr. did alright Sherlock but to me Sherlock Holmes is a fast talker, crack head the loves the sound of bars closing in on the murder.

Bringing his signature kinetic action directing style to a new universe, Guy Ritchie creates a film that shies away from the more philosophical elements of the Holmsian world in lieu of a slick and very entertaining action thriller. The pseudo-dystopian universe is beautifully realized and the action set pieces that frequently populate the film are a marvel to watch. Of course, the film's heart is a charming and lively portrayal by Robert Downey Jr. who hovers between the cockiness of Tony Stark and the wry sarcasm he displayed in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

This is one of the best Sherlock Holmes films made in my opinion Robert Downey Jr was a fanatastic choice for Sherlock along with his old friend Watson played by Jude Law another amazing choice there was lots of action and the music was good to which is rare in films nowadays. This opens up a whole load of questions for fans of sherlock holmes like how many film will be made will they kill Sherlock off sooner rather than later along with many many more questions..overall a very very good film and one i would recomend to anyone and i certainley can not wait for the second film to be made.

This was a great movie. It's exciting and very interesting. Great acting too, and safe for the whole family to watch. It inspires me for my own book.

Fresh, humerous and different, this version of Sherlock Holmes was a delight to watch. The relationship between Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr works brilliantly. Ritchie's excellent direction, and a fast-paced screenplay compliment the two stars perfectly.

Not a bad movie. I don't mind the updating of Holmes and turning him into a sleuth/action hero for today's audiences. Robert Downey Jr. actually acts in this movie, although there are a few times he does his usual schtick. To be honest, at the end I wasn't quite sure how it came together, but I pretty much shrugged my shoulders and accepted it. I'm not really sure how necessary Rachel McAdams' character was, the plot probably could have still happened without her, and it got pretty distracting hearing her slip in and out of the British accent. As I said, not a bad movie.

I detected a pretty strong gay subtext between Holmes and Watson in this version. Honestly, that was the only thing that kept me interested. Much more action-oriented than cerebral, which isn't really what I want from a Sherlock Holmes film.
