Sherlock Holmes

So far, I have not read Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes mysteries; nor have I seen the Basil Rathbone portrayals of Sherlock. I enjoy Robert Downey Jr as an actor so I went to see the movie. I was not disappointed as it appeared Robert loved playing Sherlock and the chemistry that he had with Jude Law's Watson was a joy to watch. It took a little bit to let myself enjoy the fast-paced film-making style of Guy Ritchie and the thick British accents but once I got carried away in the story, I enjoyed it. There is quite obviously sequels in the works as Sherlock will have more cases to solve. It was a fun escape and give it an enthusiastic thumb up looking forward to the eventual sequel(s).
