Sherlock Holmes has made his reputation finding the truth at the heart of the most complex mysteries. With the aid of Dr. John Watson, his trusted ally, the renowned "consulting detective" is unequaled in his pursuit of criminals of every stripe, whether relying on his singular powers of observation, his remarkable deductive skills, or the blunt force of his fists. But now a storm is gathering over London, a threat unlike anything that Holmes has ever confronted...and just the challenge he's looking for. After a string of brutal, ritualistic murders, Holmes and Watson arrive just in time to save the latest victim and uncover the killer: the unrepentant Lord Blackwood.

This film delivered a lot of action and gorgeous cinematography as well as humour and terrific interplay among the lead actors, but the story wasn't what we've come to expect as a Sherlock Holmes mystery. There were not many 'aha' moments, as most reveals were heavily foreshadowed. What it felt like, by the end, was one big trailer for the next Sherlock Holmes movie!
That said, I would watch it again. RDJ is great, Jude is great, Rachel is great. It's a great popcorn movie and has just the right amount of character development to make you want to see these people again, and make sure they are all back in the inevitable sequel.
