I was quite disappointed Janduin Send a noteboard - 07/01/2010 02:54:35 AM
Chemistry between Holmes and Watson was undeniably good. Dialog was snappy with funny moments.

But the story was flat. I went in hoping for a revival from Guy Richie, a return to Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels. I didn't get it. Yeah, this movie had the Guy-Richie look, but it spent time explaining things instead of allowing them to happen. As good as Holmes and Watson were together, I still felt like it could have been better; it was almost like a less complex version of House and Wilson.

Overall, my view on this movie... unmet potential. Could have been really clever. Could have been really entertaining. Lots of could have beens.

D@mn you Madonna! You ruined a good director!

My 2 cents.

I believe it is a convention of the rhetorical question that an answer is not actually invited. *NM* Ghavrel - 30/12/2009 11:15:09 AM 477 Views
I got annoyed when I was watching the movie for this reason Sports_Gambler - 31/12/2009 08:29:03 AM 783 Views

Oops. Look at me posting in the wrong spot. *NM* Janduin - 07/01/2010 02:49:07 AM 443 Views
I would watch a sequel. Make a sequel, peoples! *NM* smaug - 28/12/2009 10:54:53 PM 538 Views
It made it's budget back in the opening weekend. I'd say a sequel is innevitable now. *NM* Wibble - 29/12/2009 05:00:18 PM 483 Views
Well they were shamelessly plugging a sequel in the last 5 minutes, so I expected no less *NM* smaug - 29/12/2009 06:23:42 PM 461 Views
It's interesting (possible spoilers?) Darth_Katie - 30/12/2009 12:23:29 AM 767 Views
Yes, but it took a while, and also no not really. Ghavrel - 30/12/2009 11:13:34 AM 629 Views

It's a good one. If you only have the budget for one movie, pick this one over Avatar. Gher - 29/12/2009 07:04:59 AM 774 Views
