I saw Sherlock Holmes last night and liked it. (I liked the Iron Man preview even better but who wouldn’t?) Jude Law did a good job for his part even though I never pictured him as the Watson type and Robert Downey Jr looked his usual crazed self which worked well for the role of Sherlock. It is possible that I’m too interested in Harry Potter but everytime they talked about Lord Blackwood I thought they were going to say Lord Voldemort. He even looked a bit like Voldemort with his smooth face and slicked back hair.

The pace of the movie is quick and sometimes that makes it hard to follow but Holmes almost always explains what he was doing (or is about to do) at a more reasonable pace so if you see the movie try to accept the fast pace as a cinematic delight instead of an annoyance — you won’t be lost for long.

You can see on imdb.com that there is an ‘Untitled Sherlock Holmes Sequel’ in the works so you won’t be surprised that the ending of this movie is a set up for that.

I’d recommend this movie if you like Sherlock Holmes, mysteries or any of the actors as they all do good jobs.
