I can see where this movie would not be for everyone, but for me it was great. I have not been particularly fond of Guy Ritchie's other films, but after reading an article on SyFy Wire, I decided to give it a try. It's a new take on an old character, but I feel it fits. From what I read, it is based on many things that were referenced in the original books (i.e., Watson was Sherlock's intellectual equal, Sherlock knows a martial art, Sherlock was a prize-fighter, etc.). So because of this, I thought I'd give it a try and I am so glad I did. It was fast-paced, engaging and fun. I would call it a bro-mance movie because the chemistry between Downey and Law was great. Loved the soundtrack too. Fun, fun fun!
