As a fan of the Doyle series, this movie was a bit over the top. However, Downey was fantastic. Law and McAdams were so-so (she needs to work on her accent). I loved the way Holmes' was able to allow us to hear his thoughtsof deduction in slow motion, and it then was replayed at regular speed. The sets, costumes and ambiance were very time specific. Although slow in spots, Overall, the movie was very enjoyable. Expecting a sequel.
