Talk about taking a dusty old tale and making it all sparkly and new again. When one thinks of Sherlock Holmes, one thinks pipe, fuddy-duddy hat and smelly old coat, right? Not anymore. Enter the oh-so-suave Robert Downey Jr and throw in Jude Law as his sidekick Watson and you’ve got the sexiest revival of the decade.But what this movie really has going for it is the testosterone injection courtesy of Guy Ritchie, probably one of the best directors to come out of the UK ever. His signature grittiness comes through like a ream of sandpaper and turns Conan Doyle’s figment into a badass. Great casting and a fresh script make this a perfect holiday flick. Rating: 4 outta 5.
