So this review may be a bit biased. I loved reading Sherlock Holmes growing up, so I was super excited when I heard they were making a movie (and that Iron Man was in it). But I’ll try to be objective.

The cinematography from Guy Ritchie movies is always visually stimulating (if you liked Snatch and Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels then you won’t be disappointed here). Some of the trailers for this movie made me think they had turned Sherlock Holmes into Ed Norton from Fight Club. Luckily, that isn’t the case at all. It’s a solid and classic whodunit all the way through, with some fun fight scenes. They even kept it clean, which is rare for a movie from Ritchie.

All in all, it’s a great movie with witty, snappy dialogue that knows when to be funny and when to buckle down for a serious scene. Robert Downey, Jr. is my hero, and I can’t wait for a sequel. You won’t just want to see it once most likely, so I’ll have to say See It and then Rent It when it comes out on DVD.
