Cyndie and I had our every other week date night on Tuesday, and during dinner, I realized that Sherlock Holmes was out on DVD. So we swung by the movie place on our way home, picked it up, then settled in for a viewing in the basement ...
Sherlock Holmes (3.5/5)
I'm sure my feelings on this one suffered to some degree by my expectations. The previews for the movie made it look a bit campy, but smart. And it has Robert Downey, Jr, one of my favorite actors in the lead. What resulted, was pretty mediocre. Overall the plot was rather poor, and Downey's Sherlock Holmes turned out to be a pretty unlikeable character. There were some good moments, but they were just that, moments. It was a movie tailor made for turning into a trailer, not one that holds an audience for two hours.
The overall summary: A pretty typical "eh" big budget studio movie.
