An absolute must see! Interplay between the Holmes and Watson characters adds a layer of depth and entertainment rarely achieved in movies today. Employing today's technology to preview and review Sherlock's thought processes was an ingenious and entertaining move. The beloved characters came to life as never before on screen and I must say I like these characters better. I am certainly looking forward to more Holmes and Watson adventures!
Cage was great, as usual, special effects outstanding and not played out so long as to be unbelievable or boring. Mystery, thriller, sci-fi, human interest, all rolled into one, no muder mayhem, thankfully. Biblical references were subtle and not "preachy". The entire movie kept me engaged and interested, even a few surprises, and I, for one, loved the ending. I am recommending it to my friends and family. There are some realistic (tho not gratuitous) scenes that may be disturbing to children, I would urge caution there.
