In a dynamic new portrayal of Arthur Conan Doyle's most famous characters, "Sherlock Holmes" sends Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) and his stalwart partner Watson (Jude Law) on their latest challenge. Revealing fighting skills as lethal as his legendary intellect, Holmes will battle as never before to bring down a new nemesis and unravel a deadly plot that could destroy the country.
After finally catching serial killer and occult "sorcerer" Lord Blackwood, legendary sleuth Sherlock Holmes and his assistant Dr. Watson can close yet another successful case. But when Blackwood mysteriously returns from the grave and resumes his killing spree, Holmes must take up the hunt once again. Contending with his partner's new fiancée and the dimwitted head of Scotland Yard, the dauntless detective must unravel the clues that will lead him into a twisted web of murder, deceit, and black magic - and the deadly embrace of temptress Irene Adler.

It was slightly draggy in the initial part of the movie, with lots of dialogues. However, when the fighting starts and the mysteries started to unravel, I found it to be too fast-paced for me to fully comprehend the whole story and how the mysteries get resolved.
Robert Downey Jr seems to fit into the story very well, portrayed as a witty detective. The way he solved his mysteries and the way he analyzed someone or some place just by looking at him or the place is pretty cool. Its just what a detective should be.
I always love reading about mysteries and murder so this story actually fits me but its too bad that there is no english subtitles. I am still waiting for the day when all movies will include english subtitles so that I will understand the show better and the deaf still can enjoy their movie.
