Critiques:

"Downey has a winning take on Holmes: He's always on." Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News

"The less I thought about Sherlock Holmes, the more I liked "Sherlock Holmes." Yet another classic hero has been fed into the f/x mill, emerging as a modern superman." Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

"Hey, remember "fun"? If you're sick of the apocalypse and tortured anti-heroes, then you need to see Sherlock Holmes. It's a blast from start to finish." Nick Starkey, Premiere

"Entertaining in a glossy, mindless way." Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

"Ritchie has never worked on a scale anything approaching this before and, while some of the directorial affectations are distracting, he keeps the action humming." Todd McCarthy, Variety
