Seen a lot worse. Which is damning with faint praise I know, but it had its moments and tbh I can watch Robert Downey Jr in anything.
One thing:
The bomb thing is under Westminster and they come to the surface at Tower Bridge? WTF? I know Guy Ritchie isn't really a cockney but I didn't realise he was actually an American
I always like Downey Jnr, he was the only thing that made it worth it. I think a really dark film would have been much better than a quipy 'apples and pears' cockney knees up.
The ending was very odd, lost a lot of marks from me for that. But the visualisation of London in the late 19th century and the portrayal of Holmes and Watson were excellent. And Downey Jnr actually managed an English accent!
Yeah it was all kinds of awesome, and can be watched many times without getting old. It's a real shame there are no solid plans for a sequel, those characters could have a lot of mileage in them.
