Sherlock Holmes

Guy Richie's take on the super sleuth was a welcome diversion during the Holidays. Having read one Holmes book and seen all the other iterations (hey what about the Young Sherlock Holmes...), I thought this one hit the target. Holmes, portrayed by Robert Downey Jr., was convincing. Not for sure if Holmes was really that rough and tumble (a boxer?) but a younger version simply kept the action up. We can only hope that sequel does contain his nemesis. Maybe even an appearance by Mycroft ;-)
