Amazing review. Sad to hear the plot isn't quite up to snuff, but I would imagine the characters would make up for it. ...and a sequel? Now that establishing the actors as the characters is out of the way... I could see that being potentially good.
Probably heading off to see this in the next day or so. Thanks for the review.

Other than that welcome to the Escapist!
Great review. As i have nothing better to do this holiday, i plan on seeing this. Also, thanks for teaching me (yet again) the origination of an aspect of pop culture i dont pay much attention to: retcons and fanboyism.
I liked the review...
...But by the trailers I think Sherlock Holmes has been Americanised! If there is anything worse that can happen to good literature or film, it's Americanisation!

You know what your getting with Guy Richie directed films,so I'll be sure to get around to this one eventually.
News to me that Doyle wrote Holmes as a substance abuser,always assumed Holmes was straight laced all the way.Which is why I've never really read a Holmes novel.
Guess I'll have to check a few out to see if the character has any more appeal now after that revelation.

Not a very detailed review in my opinion, but it's the holidays, so who cares? right?
I'm about to see this film in two hours with my family. If it does turn out to be horrifically average, so be it. However, I am relieved to hear that the lead actors performed well in this movie.

The chance of a sequel being made?
Elementary, my dear Moviebob.
If you're going to have a "re-imagining" of a franchise, then I'd much rather it was done this way than a certain sparkly vampire, mega-booming robots or insipid spy stories that are less scary than reality.
If re-makes are all we're left with, I'd rather go this way than the explosion-centric, reality-divulgent, dumbed down shlock we're being force fed of late.
I'm just minorly upset that there wasn't some allusion to Holmes favourite snort though; even House had his vicodin. (SO not cocaine at all)
Anyway, Hugh Laurie needs to get ready for Half-Life: The Movie.
