Full disclosure: The Movie Slut adores Sherlock Holmes AND she loves Robert Downey Jr. even more. So it's no surprise that she smiled her way through Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes. The question is, will you?
The answer is yes, if you like action films, foggy Victorian London, damsels in distress, bare-chested hunks, side-kick flicks and villians named Prof. Moriarty.
This is not your grandfather's Holmes, still, it's true to the spirit of the quirky, eccentric genius detective and the good doctor who's always by his side. In fact, the Movie Slut thinks Jude Law's Dr. Watson is more true to the original than some of the foolish fuddy-duddies in the old films. After all, in the Conan Doyle stories, he was not only a physician, but also a war veteran and the chronicler of Sherlock's adventures. No slouch.
Can't wait for the sequel.
