Pleasantly Surprised!

I wasn't sure what to expect from Guy Ritchie's effort of covering the sleuth detective of Baker Street, but per his usual performance, Downey Jr. breathes unexpected new life into Sir Doyle's Holmes. Jude Law is brilliant as Dr. Watson, and Rachel McAdams, as the gorgeous and calculating Irene Adler, and Mark Strong, as the insidious and unkillable Lord Blackwood, also give bang-up performances. The effects and cinematography lend the perfect ambience to a gritty London in the throes of Industrialism. Also look for the uncredited performance of Professor Moriarty (Brad Pitt?). I was pleasantly surprised by the intelligence and wit of this film. Highly recommended!

I saw Avatar in 2D and then again in IMAX 3D. It was amazing both times, but I highly recommend IMAX. It's worth a few extra bucks for such a total immersion into the beautiful environments and dizzying heights of Cameron's world, Pandora. Plus the indigenous Na'vi look amazing in 3D.
Some folks compare the framework of this movie to Dances with Wolves. But it's not a total rip. It's a loose framework that is fleshed out by added twists and turns and the love and attention of a director who truly cares. Can't wait for Avatar II!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
