Sherlock Holmes Review

My husband and I went to see the new take of Sherlock Holmes as done by Guy Ritchie on Christmas day. We both really enjoyed this movie. I was afraid, after watching the previews, it would be a big action flick and not a detective movie. I'm glad it kept true to Sherlock Holmes being a ridiculously brilliant observer along with some action scenes having to do with solving his case. The fight scenes were pretty cool, showing Holmes' deductive reasoning behind every blow in slow motion before it happened. Very cool effect.
Overall, it was a fun movie to watch and it easily appeals to both sides of the gender line. Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law play off each other very well. You see the tight connection they have, as well as how much they enjoy antagonizing each other. They are also extremely easy on the eyes. This is a good set up movie for a franchise, and it could be a very good one if they keep Downey and Law together.
