"You seem surprised."The pairing of Robert Downey Jnr and Jude Law - both excellent actors - as Holmes and Watson was inspired, and it is their strength and relationship on-screen that holds the movie together. The story is quite straightforward and just about holds attention. Guy Ritchie does a much better job with his actors than his overall handling of the pace, and Hans Zimmer provides an extraordinarily irritating music score. The recreation of London and its nineteenth-century is largely very successful, in spite of some low-end CGI. This version of Sherlock Holmes sits a little uncomfortably between period piece and modern sensibilities, but overall it is moderately entertaining.
