I love Robert Downey Jr.! He has a very dry wit and really gets into his characters. He makes a great 'new' Sherlock Holmes. Jude Law makes a good sidekick, is easy to look at, and I think compliments Downey well. There was a little too much fighting, and there could have been a little more detail added to the story line, but the over all handling of the dark atmosphere of old England set the stage well. I enjoyed it and look forward to more encounters between Holmes and his nemisis!
