...is one of three films we saw this weekend.
If you're a Robert Downey, Jr. fan, you may like it a lot.
Otherwise, Guy Ritchie's take on Sherlock is pretty much an in-your-face, fighting, exploding, chasing, chaotic mess, unlike anything A. Conan Doyle ever imagined.
I'd give it a C.
The others -
Avatar in 3-D. Simply incredible, as long as you don't think about it too much and just sit back and get into it, literally.
I'd give it an A.
And then there was Extract on DVD.
Touted as a comedy starring Jason Bateman, there were very few laughs. The characters were all pretty pathetic.
I'd give it a D.
