This was a really enjoyable movie. There were a number of fighting scenes, but not nearly as much or as graphic as many action movies. Years ago I read all four of the Sherlock Holmes novelettes and the 40 or so short stories. The movie took some liberties. Sherlock Holmes was a boxer, not a Kung Fu expert. I was glad to see the movie portrayed Watson as a doctor from the military, not a bumbling idiot like the old movies showed him. The two were great together.
