Fantastic, would see again!

This movie was fast paced and fun! It doesn't feel like 2 hours and I didn't look at my watch at all.
Robert Downey Jr. is compelling as quick witted Holmes and Jude Law is more than his match as "tough man" Watson. You can't decide who you love more. The bantering scenes between the two are memorable and funny.
The villain is creepy enough to startle just by appearing. The twists you won't see coming.
It's beautifully made with fantastic acting. If you liked "The Prestige" you'll like this x 10.
GO SEE IT!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

snogging with no climax

The dialogue is charming and the chemistry between the actors is undeniable. Every moment Alan Rickman appears onscreen is worth cheering for. However, the movie focuses more on the romantic aspects of the main characters and less on the things it should.
Avid Harry Potter readers will find themselves wondering what happened to Percy, Bill and Fleur. Dumbledore's army (as a group) does not make an appearance in this movie.
This movie has the feel of a romantic comedy with interspersing scenes of fantasy. There are moving points in the movie but in the end you'll find yourself leaving the theatre feeling like a disappointed bed partner. It was all snogging and no climatic point whatsoever.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
