I’m going to see it tonight. I’ll report back soon.
The trailer looks pretty awesome!

Yes! I wanna know if it’s any good – from someone whose opinion I trust. Also looking forward to seeing Avatar, but not sure which one to go to first.
I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a very different interpretation. Robert Downey played a gritty, dirty Holmes that in some ways may be more accurate. He was a heroin addict in the books.
Joan thought there was a little too much “action” but I felt it made the movie appealing to a broad audience — the four “quadrants” of the market that the movie industry wants to tackle (men and women, over and under age 25).
The set design was amazing! Wonderful recreation of London during the industrial revolution.
The bottom line? We both agreed that it was very entertaining, and will watch it again when it comes out on DVD. Well worth seeing in the theater.
I want to see Avatar also, but this was a notch higher on my list. 😉
Great! Perfect review for me. Looks like my weekend is planned 🙂 SH with my girlfriend (we like gritty/dirty guys – lol) and Avatar with my son(s) – in 3D of course!
And the music is classic Hans Zimmer… makes it all the better 😉
I Loved This Movie.
Capitalized, just like that.
I loved that gritty, addiction prone, obsessive and flawed Holmes and his odd, annoyed, eternally suffering war hero Watson. AI thought that Jude and Jr had an amazing kind of back and forth on screen and some cosmic chemistry.The only thing that makes me kind of second guess it was I got really tired of sepia after a while.
The story was phenomenal, if somewhat ridiculous at points, and I did dig how they did some of Holmes’ inner dialogue. Simply wonderful.
