excellent movie

the movie potrays sherlock holmes and dr. john watson as realistic crime fighters...simialr to batman and robin without all th disguises and stunts that make blockbuster action heroes look extremely talented and strong, etc...

sherlock holmes isnt some super hero...but he is an insanely good detective, fighter and analyst of sorts...i dont know the history behind the man but in the movie he comes across as a man that has an unlimited degree of intelligence (perhaps a photographic memory) and a perspective of his fellow man that is quite futuristc for his day and age of an industrial dated englishman.

events of the movie start from november 19th, 1891 which make my previous comment relevant as in the movie the london bridge was being constructed, which also means that england was very industrial at the time.

watson and holmes were a very heroic, but heroism does takwe it toll. liek batman sherlock and holmes did things their own way. therefore were taken into custody for interfering with investigations run by the police...

new inventions started to come into effect in this movie, such as the reference of the deadly weapon that is triggered via remote (aka radio waves).

science and alchemy coem into this movie more then i thought it would, however, it doesnt dissapoint or slow down th movie. rather makes the twists in the movie more complex, which in turn adds intrigue and which again makes the movie a good one...

i conclude by sayign tht i really enjoyed this movie, robert downey jn. and jude law are in their prime with no hint of slowing down.

sherlock holmes rated: 4/5

"save your bullets watson!"
