calimacThey told us that the Robert Downey Jr. Sherlock Holmes movie was a completely revisionist take, turning Holmes into an action hero. They did tell us that.
They didn't tell us that it was also overlong and tedious.
Musically, the bad news is, the score was nominated for an Oscar. The good news is, it lost.
I could tell that the script was written by Americans, because the villain, otherwise called "Lord Blackwood", is on one formal occasion referred to as "Lord Henry Blackwood". Sorry, he has to be one or the other, not both. I think that all Americans writing stories with British nobility as characters are required to make that mistake, because they all do.
