Thumbs down Sherlock Holmes

I went and saw SH yesterday... man how disappointing.

I really can't come up with something positive to say about it.

Disappointed. Really expected more from this movie

my mind wasn't blown or anything. but i thought it was entertaining... and in the end, that's all i'm asking for in a movie. eyecandy and deep thought provoking stories are just cherries on to top.

I liked it though. I always thought Robert Downey Jr.'s roles as a cocky know-it-all or show off to be pretty darn entertaining.

I went to this movie having extremely low expecations, and it was way better than I thought it would be. I was pretty entertained, and I love brunettes, so Rachel McAdams looks so much better as a brunette than a blonde to me. Overall, a good movie that I wouldn't mind recommending to friends.

I dunno then, maybe the lighting of the movie then? It made her seem way more pale than usual. Kinda like some twilight steez and I wasn't all about it.

Man I don't know what you guys expect out of movies... much like the current generation of caffeine junkies I guess... gotta be crack to make you feel anything.


Me personally. I really enjoyed it. I thought the acting was good. The dialog was good and the action was fine. I was actually very impressed with the imagery. How they were able to put the era and the feel of the time together. My buddy and I both really enjoyed it.
