Since this movie aired I always wanted to watch it, but I only got the chance to do it last week. As you may know Guy Ritchie is the director of the film, and I admit it that he did a great job even thought I didn't believe in him that much. I really liked this version of Sherlock Holmes, the actor they chose for the role (Robert Downey, Jr.) was excellent. I really liked the way he played the legendary detective. I also enjoyed Dr. John Watson (Jude Law) and Irene Adler (Rachel McAdams) although I think Rachel McAdams was a little bit too young for the role, because of her history with Sherlock. The film was definitely fun to watch the story was very interesting, the costumes were great, the actors were very good in their roles and for their roles! It's a very funny film too, I laughed in many scenes but I also had agony and it left me with a warm feeling. The graphics are good, I like how they show London. Finally, I recommend it to all of you, it's one of those films that you have to watch.. Hope you like it..
