I Need Sherlock Holmes To Solve A Mystery


And that mystery is: Why didn't I like this movie more?

It had British accents, it had mystery, it had a very cool style to it, it had those fabulous olden times fashions, and it had Robert Downey, Jr. playing a smart, oddball character. This should be enough, and yet somehow it wasn't.

I know it wasn't Jude Law's fault. I hate that man normally and he didn't bother me as Watson. It's like all of the pieces were there - and it was certainly entertaining enough - but it wasn't the fabulous film I was hoping for. It's like it had action and humor, but not enough to make me go "Wow."

At least it was very, very gay. Seriously, Sherlock Holmes is in love with Watson in this movie. It's adorable.
