I went to watch sherlock holmes on sunday and it is about the famously brilliant detective taking on a new case involving mysteries of magic and an event that could change the fate of the earth etc. etc. etc. This version is an updated version, and it looks a lot cooler. Robert Downey Jr. is awesome as Holmes because he's funny and knows kung fu. He sort of reminds me of House and Captain Jack Sparrow put together. Everyone else in the movie is boring. I liked the action even the bits where he explains what he's going to do before he does it.
Probably the only problem with the movie is the story. I really didnt like how holmes has to deal with magic coz you immediately already know that there is a logical explanation for everything. And he only does a proper deduction twice, once somewhere in the middle and once at the end. But the end explanation is so unsatisfying it doesnt really count.
So in the end its a good movie, but not a great one.
Rating: 3/5 (note 2 of those points are for robert downey)
