I read Sherlock Holmes books as a child and really enjoyed them. The movie has taken great cinematic license and turned the character into something few people ever envisioned, an action hero. Robert Downey Jr. solidified himself as the current top tier star in dramatic fashion. He portrays the man as a torn and troubled man with all the great attributes of observation and deduction from the books. He also really did some physical work on his body to pull off the role.
The movie itself is fast-paced and very complex. When I left the theater I felt like I had finished taking an exam. Although the film is somewhat mind numbing, this film is excellent and I can't wait for the sequel.
