Sherlock Holmes Ratings & Reviews
The Atlantic
Ed Koch
The Victorian sets are terrific and the performances of Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, both consummate actors with a special style, are excellent. Nevertheless, their performances are not enough to compensate for a less than stellar script.
Reel Talk Online
Candice Frederick
As for the film itself, in true Guy Ritchie style is was all over the place with the craziness. But if you can set aside your image of Boyle's Sherlock, you may enjoy this a little more.

Jonathan F. Richards
Despite a few laggard moments of slow going, Ritchie has pulled off an entertaining coup in giving us a Holmes for the 21st century by digging back to the 19th century original and adding a few bells and whistles.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
What was the thinking behind all this?
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
In short, this movie somehow does Doyle proud, and unlike other revisionist takes on the detective gone horribly wrong (like 1985's Young Sherlock Holmes) this one gets so much right enjoying it is positively elementary.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
It's all knotted together, then unraveled with brio, by Holmes and Watson. There are fisticuffs galore, fiery combustion aplenty, and, yes, my dear reader, clever deduction.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
The very idea of handing him over to professional lad Guy Ritchie, to be played as a punch-throwing quipster by Robert Downey Jr., is so profoundly stupid one can only step back in dismay.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Downey never winks -- heâ(TM)s too much of a pro for that -- but like the man heâ(TM)s playing, heâ(TM)s much, much smarter than the movie heâ(TM)s in.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
[Downey's] more masculine interpretation of the character is never anything less than startling, fresh, and altogether entertaining.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
By now we've seen so many good, bad, and indifferent Sherlocks that it's almost a relief to get something different, however wrongheaded. And there's no such thing as too much Downey.
I.E. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
Downey Jr. plays the brainiac detective like an overheating machine -- what cools him off is a puzzle.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
Playing literature's greatest detective as a sort of self-loathing action hero, Downey has an absolute blast. And thanks to his performance in Sherlock Holmes, so do we.
Movie Retriever
Brian Tallerico
A decent action movie that goes down like fast food would often be enough to recommend, but generations of Holmes fans and those who have come to expect more from actors this talented may be disappointed that it's not closer to filet mignon.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
Though purists may balk at Arthur Conan Doyle's literary world being manhandled into a blockbuster by never-subtle director Guy Ritchie, Downey has a winning take on Holmes: He's always on.
TIME Magazine
Mary F. Pols
What is surprising is how bland the results are. The explosions and action sequences have an odd cheapness to them and the central plot is one of those dreary take-over-the-world routines.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
At times, Ritchie and company try so hard to make sure this isn't your father's Sherlock Holmes that it comes across as, well, cartoonish.
Dallas Morning News
Joy Tipping
This is rip-roaring action-adventure of high order, a sometimes dizzying but ultimately thrilling display of showmanship on the part of the actors, director and screenwriters.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
It seems that an evil aristocrat, executed for a series of murders, returns from the dead to mobilize an ancient secret society that he may have time-traveled into a Dan Brown novel to learn about. Doesn't that sound fascinating? I thought not.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Guy Ritchie is the worst screenwriter in the world, but, to be fair, he is not the worst director. He is only the worst director of the people who actually get to make movies.
