Director Guy Ritchie's special effects work is at times pretty dazzling. The images of artillery shells slicing through trees in slow motion are, admittedly, cool. But once you get past those visuals, his story quickly wears thin. Watching Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law pound the pavement and the bad guys, there is nothing more than yet another calculated, soulless play for moviegoers' dollars, I thought. The fact that all the mysteries got unraveled in a chess game between Moriarty and Holmes is not just creative, but really shows the level of intensity between these two. The movie did have some comedy and sexual content, such as people kissing and naked men… but it isn’t too bad. After all, there was some humor in almost every single scene. I think this movie is one of the best “British accent” movies you’ll ever see. - @leomeme of the Teen Review Board of the Hamilton Public Library
