Poo-poo on you naysayers, this is a very enjoyable film.  It has action and suspense and Downey and Law did a great job portraying Holmes and Watson.

I did a lot of reading before I went to see the film and they did lift a lot things from the Conan Doyle stories that were mentioned (such as Holmes being a expert pugilist and his knowledge of martial arts) but never actually shown. 


This story is an original one, but it looks like Warner Brothers have hope for a franchise.  Moriarity does make a couple of appearances (sort of).

Another thing I would mention is that the rumor that Holmes and Watson are portrayed as gay is total BS.

*** out of ****.  The plot got a bit messy in the 2nd half but the acting/casting was perfect.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
