First movie of the new decade, and boy was it awesome.
You know its going to be good just by reading the list of whos who.
Director: Guy Ritchie
Lead: RD Jr
Musical Composer: Hans Zimmer
It was a totally enjoyable movie, with RD Jr epitomizing Holmes - both in his deep thinking gaze, but also with his cheeky disregard for rules and the law.
I didn't feel the movie was 2 hours long. I mean, there were no wasted scenes, brilliant music to accompany the scene (right down to the how u can hear the mischievousness in the music).
I had feared that the best scenes were shown in the trailer, but this was clearly not the case.
The lines were witty, the sets were amazing.
One negative point was that Jude Law put up a forgettable performance as Watson, and was clearly the weakest link in the film. However, that said, he is probably the best English actor they could have used... much better than the rough-hewn Colin Farrel whom they had intended to use initially.
RD Jr tried to put on an English accent. And he only marginally succeeded in the single lines. He reverted to his american accent when he spoke fast.
All in all, an entertaining movie. Go catch it!
4.5 / 5

Honestly, I think this rocked more than Avatar and gotta love the chemistry between RDJ and Jude Law (I know you don't agree on Jude Law as an actor so shuddup. :p)
