Action, Comedy
4 stars
Fun movie. Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law star as Holmes and Dr. Watson in this updated version of a classic as they try to solve a mystery behind an evil villain (Mark Strong of Body of Lies) who uses to dark magic to rise from the dead, among other things. Plenty of fight scenes (I wish they weren’t in fast motion), action and astute observations. Rachel McAdams co-stars, but while she’s normally a talented actress, this isn’t her strongest showing. While I miss the old intellectual Holmes from the old TV series, Downey’s slacker version is sheer fun.
