Sherlock Holmes

Got this on DVD and i love it! Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law work great as a team and I cannot wait till the 2nd one is out on DVD!!!!

Robert Downey Jr might be american but hes the best sherlock holmes its an amazing film a definite buy

Great film , couldn't have picked better actors. Typical great action packed Guy Ritchie.

This film is very good. Its a good twist to an old Sherlock and old Watson. Also nice riddles.

Brilliant cast however be sure to take the time to watch this if you had an interest in Sherlock Holmes (be it the books or shows) prior to the release of the movie. It is a fairly long film and I personally found it dismal as I do not know much about Mr. Holmes.

This is a stylised account mirroring the latest TV adaptation with Benedict Cumberbatch. Downey's English accent I found unintelligible, consequently I had no idea of what the plot was, -if there was one? Watched this at a friends,- on their system I could not find any subtitles and the film therefore seemed overlong and I could not wait for it to end. I only found out at the end of the film everybody was as bored as I was. I suspect Ritchie watched the new TV version, thought he could do better-he couldnt!

People who say its not identical to traditional Holmes story telling: Well how many times can you read/watch baskervilles????
All the qualities was there for both Holmes & Watson. Smart, Eccentric ,Odd, Tough & Dependant on one another....

Loved how dark film was set, and how the comedy was actually funny rather than most main stream action adventure's..

Other thing people moan about is an American being cast as Sherlock, nonsense who ever's best for the the job..(Also look at Liam Neeson as Hannibal Smith) Door swings both ways...

Jude Law & Downey JR were Excellent in these roles, as was Ritchie's Directing/Screenplay..

If you take away the title of this film, you're left with a pile of rubbish and it would been slated by many. You can not change classic stories and it characters, but that is what this film tried to do. You can always tell how bad a film is by how fast the DVD gets reduced in price. This DVD was reduced just after it was released. Need I say more?

Tit-for-tat anyone?

I tried to watch this during a day of college but the concept was very difficult to understand and didn't help when I had occuring interruptions. I would definately watch again as it had great acting in it but you must watch it all the way through unlike me and take notice of what is going on. Sherlock Holmes wouldn't be a normal choice for me but it was very intriguing.

This film is well directed and well produced. Some of the old fashioned settings of London are amazing. The film is well acted and the script well written and very witty. The plot is very clever but maybe a little confusing at times, but then this is a film that can be watched again and again.

As much as I like Lock Stock and Snatch, I was a little wary when i saw this was directed by Guy Richie. The current British underworld genre has can sometimes be a bit tiresome. This film proves that Guy Richie is back. The end line to the film is 'Case Reopened' lets hope it is!!
