roger ebert was right
Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes is good fun . EXCEPT for the fact that Holmes is eccentric bordering on bumbling, and Watson isn't stout.
Still, good watching. Jeremy Brett twisted the image of Holmes in one way. Robert Downey Jr gives it a whack in the opposite direction.
London with its shipyards is superb.

no, it wasn't good fun. it sucked. for precisely those reasons. hell, holmes is not a detective in this. he's almost a gunda- cross of tomb raider n' jack sparrow n' james bond. watson is just a bully. they should've named the movie dr. watson, not sherlock holmes!
I was surprised to see Holmes portrayed as a brawler, but I was pleased. I especially enjoyed the scenes where he calculated the recovery time required for the injuries which he was about to inflict. I did find the villain to be completely boring, but I'll go see the sequel.
