Elementary, my dear Watson.

So, I am posting this somewhat late, but after a Robert Downey Jr. Youtube marathon, I decided it is about time I post about Sherlock Holmes, even though I saw it a couple of days after Christmas.
One word: AWESOME.
It was really good. I think something that I think is portrayed in the commercials and trailers for Sherlock Holmes, is that it is a funny/light movie. It is funny at times, but on the whole, the funny can be outweighed by the dark. There are intense scenes. But nothing too gory. It is PG-13, not R. Something that I really liked about it, is that it was the typical "Holmes is super smart, and Watson is comical relief/a bit dull". They made sure to make Watson a legitimate character.

Also, a bit of book trivia, which I didn't know. Watson is a war veteran from the anglo-afghan war in Afghanistan in 1842. A bit ironic, eh?
