Sherlock Holmes (almost completely non-spoilery)

[cos]

Fun action mystery with a lot of good lines and satisfying scenes. Fits in pretty well with the canon Sherlock Holmes (a lot better than the Star Wars prequels fit in with the original trilogy, for example). Clever. Not amazing, but a good time.

Previews made it seem very violent. While it did have about as much fighting as the previews had led me to expect, the movie as a whole was a lot less focused on the fighting than I had expected.

It was a fun, fluffy movie, I thought. some good bits. It was a nice, light use of a couple of hours.

Just answer me one thing: do either of them end up shirtless for any length of time?

They have the wrong guy playing Holmes. I don't know who would be appropriate (Christopher Lee, maybe 30-40 years ago, comes to mind), but they cast the wrong guy.

RDJ has an entire shirtless boxing scene at the least.

*bounce* YAY!!! Also, there's this lovely still of him clad in only a strategically placed pillow while tied to a bed. Yes, I must see this movie.

I was going to mention that scene in response to your comment, but I feared it'd be a spoiler.

It was indeed fun, but my cat is much fluffier :)

ah, but it would be a spoiler that would convince me to see the movie.
