Storyline:
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 fiancé 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.

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

"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
