"Film as dream, film as music. No form of art goes beyond ordinary consciousness as film does, straight to our emotions, deep into the twilight room of the soul"- Ingmar Bergman.

SHERLOCK HOLMES -- Is disappointing!!
The film was much worse than I could have imagined. I calculated they wasted over 40 minutes in needless, and ridiculous, fight scenes. They had no bearing on the outcome of the movie. The film copied Indiana Jones in such capacity, I almost had to remind myself what film I was indeed viewing. The dialogues was terrible, often forced and brought the movie down to a snails pace. What exactly did people enjoy about this film? An enormous disappointment, I laughed out loud at all the predictable Guy Ritchie fight scenes and explosions, they were truly pathetic.
I have watched almost all Sherlock Homes movies starring Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Dr Watson, Jeremy Brett series from Granada etc, but this movie is sheer disappointment. I was very disappointed by the shame that movie makes of itself by transforming the noblest of men (Watson and Holmes) into two idiots punching each other. I don't want to give away too much, so I'll end the review with this: If you are a hardcore original Sherlock Holmes story fan, this may not be the movie for you. If not, I think anyone else would love this movie from start to finish.
Verdict : 1/5
