Having been a fan of the older more methodically paced Sherlock Holmes movies this update definitley brings a new pace to current times. Anyone who thinks this movie was too slow or walked out on it, must have been at the Alvin and the Chipmunks premiere. This version keeps the intriguing aura of greatness to Holmes while giving Watson an uplift. My 15 year old son was captivated. Law and Downey are excellent in their roles.
This movie got is mostly all right. The movie tied so many of the original stories and elements together. Even when Captain Pike ends up in a wheelchair, that goes back to one of the original episodes. If there is one thing I did not like was the court scene where Kirk is defending his chaging of the war similation program. I felt it did not do him justice. Otherwise the movie was phenomenal!!
