Poor Mr. Downey. Not even his fine portrayal of the mild freak-ness which makes Holmes such a great detective but such a pathetic man can't give this movie a point. Early on, it dribbles into nothing more than another excuse for Guy Richie to show people big pictures of pig carcasses and shirtless cave men beating up on each other. Rachel McAdams' character just doesn't fit, as this is not a movie about a 21st century girl who gets sucked into a 19th century detective story through some hole in the space-time continuum. Overall, it's just dumb.
