Hello! I just saw Sherlock Holmes this morning and I recommend it! I am not a huge Holmes buff, but have seen various incarnations of it. I get a regular fix thanks to one of the local PBS stations running the good ole Jeremy Brett version all the time.
I did have my doubts about Robert Downey Jr. as Holmes, but he does a good job and maintains his accent all the time, unlike one of the supporting cast. The men's fashion wasn't that exciting, but the women's was. I have to go see it again to see a dress that I missed during the scene that occurred when I ducked out for a moment. The technology was good and period possible. Although I have doubts about the taser that appeared in a lab. But its use was well done. There is even one gizmo that mixed all tech of the times. A definite good choice in this movie was Guy Ritchie as director. He is the one you did Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, and Revolver. He is good at twists and turns, and then explaining it to the viewer in such a way that does not seem like a cheap plot device. Next weekend, I am catching Young Victoria. Henry W.
