@topic.
Sherlock.Holmes.was.a.fun.movie.for.me. . It.did.justice.to.the.entertainment.part.of.movie. It.was.funny. It.was.full.of.energy. . And.the.actors.were.splendid. Mark.Strong.did.extremely.well.but.I.tot.Rachel.McAdams.coulda.done.better. .

About.the.story. Well. .not.many.people.found.it.gripping. Which.is.a.fact. It.wasn't.totally.knit.together. The.whole.detective.thing.wasn't.fully.explored. There.was.a lot.left.undone.

I.Think.this.movie.desperately.needs.a.sequel.before.justice.can.be.done.to.the.whole.Sherlock.Holmes.theme.

Robert.Downey.was.superb. .

spiked.
I.totally.agree.with.you.about.the.ending. . The.Jew.Hunter.gave.up.Hitler.and.his.men.too.easily. .
