Sherlock Holmes
From the desk of The Movie Snob
Sherlock Holmes (D+). Based on the reviews I had seen, I expected Sherlock Holmes to be mediocre--but I didn't expect it to be this mediocre. As played by Robert Downey, Jr. (Tropic Thunder), the supersleuth is not only a genius at deduction but also a formidable practitioner of the martial arts. With Dr. Watson (Jude Law, The Holiday) in tow, Holmes investigates a bizarre case in which a hanged murderer has apparently risen from the grave and threatens to take over England with an army of the undead, or something like that. Rachel McAdams (Wedding Crashers) has very little to do as American con artist Irene Adler. Choppily-edited fight scenes and overwhelmingly brown and gray cinematography do not add to the enjoyment. Suffice to say, it wasn't the best 2 hours and 15 minutes of my life.

I hated this movie. I would give it a D-. I didn't like the characters, the look of the movie, or the story. The only reason I didn't give this an F is because of some of the special effects. The movie was painful from opening to closing credits.
