Anyone See it? The reviews are average to above average. I was looking forward to it until I saw the mixed reviews.

Sherlock Holmes the movie was awesome. Holme's purists may be a little miffed at some changes to the general characters, but in my opinion, the changes were overall inconsequential. The storyline is, as far as I know, unique to the movie.
Overall, I found the movie to be an excellent film with great writing and superb acting, making a fitting box-office tribute to the great Sherlock Holmes.
I really enjoy The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes I think its the best portrait of Holmes to date
If nothing else, if the new movie gets people interested in reading the original stories, that's a win.
The movie's single saving grace was how they portrayed Watson. I've always hated what the Rathbone series did to the character. This version made Watson almost too accomplished.
I like this, his true honest opinion.
And...
Bam, another true honest opinion, but so drastically different. Same movie, very different feelings.
Maybe I'm sick in some way, but I like seeing that some people really like it and others really don't. It helps keep my mind clear knowing it caused a pinch of chaos and a dash of satisfaction.
