Title: Not Doyle's Holmes, but Sexy and Engaging
Review: I expect most Holmes stories I watch to break with Doyle's stories to some degree, and I can almost always expect the bad guy to be Moriarty. Both are true here. This movie gets only 4 stars because it strays so far from Doyle's own version of Holmes and Watson. However, by itself, it is a sexy, entertaining movie. I was amused by this young, attractive Holmes. In most of Doyle's stories Holmes is a young man, even though most actors who portray him are much older. It was refreshing to imagine, through this movie, what the young, brash Holmes was like. Honestly, this Holmes was probably written more for women than men. From a female point of view, I can assure you I have watched this film more than once.
