A good take on the great detective

I have read the Sherlock Holmes books and I have watched the tv series, so in my mind I thought that this would be awful, sex drugs & rock & roll so to speak, However I do believe that this has stuck to what the character in the books was like, I was suprised and releaved that Guy Ritchie hasn't made the same mistake as the other directors. Good on you, A good film, action and suprises along the way and good tounge and cheek banter.
Cracking

It was nice to watch a top notch film directed by a Bit and also with a strong British showign in the cast as well. The film had a good plot along with ample doses of action and Humor.
Boring

I heard such good reviews about this film but upon watching i found it so boring. There was hardly any action, all of which i had seen in the adverts and they were trying to make the film funny but it just wasn't
