I'm not really a big fan of mystery/detective movie, so you can say that I don't really watch any Sherlock Holmes movies/drama/book before, but I do know bit and pieces on how Sherlock Holmes supposed to look like or do (you know, something like saying "elementary my dear Watson"), so seeing how Robert Downey Jr potray Sherlock Holmes was kinda surprising... in a good way that is...
so it's either his character was interesting, or he did a brilliant acting... same can be said to his assistant, Dr Watson... both of them did a superb job... though not the same can be said about Mary (Kelly Reilly), it's either bad acting or over acting by her, at some scene, i can't help feeling like she is spoiling the scene/mood...
as for the storyline, just like most mystery/detective genre movie, it's all about solving the case(s) that is currently happening in the movie, and it is quite amazing how Sherlock Holmes can get the smallest detail within a scene to help him solve his case (or i'm just suck at being a detective)...
other than the solving part, the funny side was good too... it was a typical Robert Downey Jr (a.k.a Iron Man) kind of joke/comedy, but it was still funny none-the-less... same goes to the action scene, it was awesome...
so overall, even though i'm not a big fan of movie of this genre, but there are just something about this movie that kept me interested throughout the movie (even though i didn't really make any attempt of trying to solve it myself)... owh, there are a lot of talking going on in the middle of the movie, so some action fan might felt the movie to be a bit slow... as for me, i truly enjoy the movie, so i'm giving it an 8.5 out of 10...
