[QUOTE="Goodsport, post: 5038539, member: 1550"] I liked it. :cool: The production values were very good (there's no doubting that it's set in late Victorian-era London), Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law did very well in their roles (this version's Sherlock Holmes was a bit more disheveled than past film versions and maybe even in the books, though this version's Dr. John Watson was more the former army surgeon from the books rather than the bumbler of past film versions), and Rachel McAdams as Irene Adler was absolutely stunning! :) The story was pretty good and the immediate story arc was completed by film's end, though a few loose ends remained and it's obvious at the end that a sequel toward the "bigger picture" of the arc is implied (though whether said sequel will happen depends on this film's box office returns, I'm sure). It certainly would've been worth the regular price of admission or even the discounted price of most early showings, but it was [i]totally[/i] worth the price for me since I got to use the first of my two pre-paid movie passes I received at my work's Secret Santa party last week, so all I had to pay for today was my popcorn and drink. :D -G [/QUOTE]
