Elementary, my dear Watson aka Sherlock Holmes - The Movie
tricia kidd:
complaining about the level of action in this movie is a little odd, considering in the original stories holmes and watson were supposed to be pretty badass fighters. watson as "bumbling sidekick" is not true to the stories at all.
also this movie rules.

Yeah, here is kind of an accurate interpretation of what of what other writers did to Watson. If you read the books, actually I think they did a pretty good job with Watson's character.
I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. At first I was worried, then definitely wanted to see it just because of RDJ+cast, and I enjoyed it quite a bit! The four main characters were all well done and the story was interesting. I don't remember seeing any other Guy Ritchie, so I have no opinion on him, but I do say this was definitely an entertaining film.
Also, they did hit on several of Holmes' flaws, they just weren't the focus of the movies. Which really, they weren't in the books either.

Watched it last night.
Really good fun to watch, although I probably back down on my thoughts about watching it more than once. Nevertheless it had pretty much everything I'd expected. It is a bit of a buddy-cop thing especially in terms of Sherlock's reaction to Watson's marriage, but after the second half of the movie they move the focus onto different things, which freshens it up a bit. And the talent of most of the actors in the cast is really up there in this film. Because all the slo-mo fight scenes only really happened at the start of the movie it gives the impression that they just couldn't be bothered going on with it (although obviously it's just so it doesn't get repetitive). Besides, they were really fun to watch.
Yeah and I didn't go into the cinema expecting real food for thought. It was just a blast watching Holmes and Watson beating up shit, Holmes being a wacko genius (channelling a bit of House personality) and of course, the small segment at the end where all is revealed by Holmes' mind - and that's the thing. Sherlock Holmes isn't usually about if he solves the case, it's how.
On a sidenote, Hans Zimmer, man. I thought that guy peaked in the early 2000s but I guess I was wrong now. Just ridiculously quirky and fun work he's made for this film. Also, the film's winner is the word discombobulate. Every time I think about that bit of the fight I giggle.

I'm actually gonna echo you on most of what you said about this movie, except for the slo-mo scenes. I definitely think they should've included one more, if nothing else when Blackwood got taken down at the end, it would've been a nice pull back to the stuff at the beginning and would've been just as satisfying or more than what happened.

I liked the slow-mo scenes in this movie mostly because they made sense. In movies like 300 it really has no point and gets annoying, but this one actually was showing how his mind was working which I thought was a useful trick. And yeah, it would have been nice if they'd used it more than twice in the beginning of the movie. (More as in maybe one or two more times in the film to balance it out.)
