Life isn't always about being right. In fact Sherlock Homes, towards the end of his life, realises that the cold logic that served him so well during his career and indeed made him wealthy and famous, can also be destructive if not tempered with humanity and humility.

This is a gorgeous film. No CGG, no car chases, no comic-book fighting, just a delightful story with an interesting little plot.

I don't know if anyone could have played Holmes better than Ian McKellan in this particular incarnation and the supporting actors are good enough to make it a tale that holds you to the end. Very good.
