Fist one was OK. Downey is always a pleasure to watch, but from the story to Jude Law to Rachel McAdams, the movie just spelled out \”ordinary\” to me. One of those -don\’t make it too clever or people won\’t come see it – movies. Sad really

You guys are smarter than this. I said it doesn\’t \”insult our intelligence\” — read it, basically saying, all things considered, this was a pretty good tentpole film almost on part with the first Pirates film.

Obviously, it\’s all relative. It\’s good popcorn, but who said it was #1 blockbuster of choice? That said, what are the alternatives? Most blockbusters this year sucked. X-Men was decent, frankly, I\’ve already forgotten it.

I would prolly give Sherlock a very entertaining B grade, maybe a B+, but again, that\’s relative to the film itself and how successful it was — don\’t compare B+\’s to other B+\’s they\’re apples and oranges.

I quite liked the first film, though I didn\’t love it, but count me skeptical on the sequel. Based on the trailer, it looks like far too many blockbuster sequels these days: bigger, noisier, eplosion-ier, and dumber than the original. I\’m willing to be convinced, though.

Also confused. The first movie was OK but nothing special.

@Mark, thank you for that comment. Please provide your home address so that I may come and fart in your living room. I\’m sure you will find it equally constructive and enlightening.

– Mark

Don\’t put marks around \’filmography\’, even the shitiest director\’s films make up a filmography. Also, don\’t roundly dismiss a director\’s entire life\’s work. Parts of Lock, Stock and damn near all of Snatch were funny before the schtick got old.

Must admit it puzzles me that ThePlaylist has adopted Sherlock Holmes as its no. 1 blockbuster franchise of choice.

I like that goof you made in your article, saying Professor Moriarty was played b y Jared Hess, then Jared Harris.

Somehow, I can\’t quite picture Napoleon Dynamite in the part.

Horrible, just like the rest of Ritchie\’s \’filmography\’.
