Review of Sherlock Holmes (2009) by Michael H — 12 May 2014

Great fun! And there was a decent attempt to justify Holmes' fighting abilities. The action plot is really just there to give the characters something to do while exploring the real plot which is about relationships; the disruption to the Holmes/Watson relationship most obviously, but also between the two men and their respective paramours, and between Holmes and members of the police force.

That's where the real joy of the film arises and why I am eager for the next installment.
