Sherlock Holmes directed by Guy Ritchie and Robert Downey Jr. was a movie that had most of the elements that it needed to be excellent but its lack of a focused plot dragged the movie down to a pretty good movie. Downey Jr. acted a fanatical Holmes quite well and this was noticed by the Hollywood Foreign press last night as he won the Golden Globe for best actor in a musical or comedy. By the way he had one of the best acceptance speeches I've ever seen. The film also had great style and cinematography. It is sad that the film was basically ruined by a poor screenplay and if it had been given a more coherent and less fantastical plot it would be one of the best and entertaining movies of the year on par with Pirates of the Caribean a similar sort of adventure/comedy type movie.
Overall 6/10 Bottom Line- Had everything it needed to have to be great except the fundamental element of a decent plot.
