One Paragraph Review: Sherlock Holmes

I rather enjoyed Sherlock Holmes despite its slow pacing and unexciting ending. In general, I love Guy Richie movies for the action and twists, and the fun ride they take you on. He's like a dumber (in a good way) British Quentin Tarantino without all the weirdness (in a bad way). Yet he really didn't add anything to this movie. It felt like it could have been directed by Joe Schmo. All that said, the dialogue and acting was just great. Robert Downey Jr. makes a great Holmes and clearly relishes the role. Not a great movie but this is exactly the sort of thing you purchase cable for.
