Don't get me wrong, I love the guy, and love him in most things he's done. Maybe not that 'thing' in the toilet a few years back, but throughout an at times turbulent 25-year career, his acting has remained at a very high standard. He always brings so much 'character' to his characters.
And it continues with Guy Ritchie's highly enjoyable, entertainingly light-hearted, if not totally amazing take on the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle creation. There was a Golden Globe Best Actor Award this week to show for it after all.
However, while I except it may have just been me, I do have one small gripe, and that is I honestly needed sub-titles at times throughout the film when the brilliant detective was speaking. Just a few moments when I needed to do a bit of my own deducting to work out exactly what he was on about.
You could give Downey Jnr, and director Ritchie for that matter, the benefit of the doubt, and look at it another way - that's Sherlock Holmes in this Sherlock Holmes, an eccentric, a quick thinker and a quick talker to boot, to the point of becoming a mumbler.
You can usually look past slightly dodgy accents. Sam Worthington's in Terminator Salvation (2009) and Avatar (2009) weren't exactly 100 percent American either. But, it does become a bit of a problem when you can't actually understand an entire conversion.
Of course it's up to Holmes and Watson to investigate whether what they are dealing with is really evil forces they might not be able to control or a more logical enemy they can outwit, outsmart and outplay. It's not so much a 'Who dunnit?' but a 'How'd they do it?'
The fun and games take place in a very believable Victorian London, with great sets intertwined with some great CGI visuals that really add to the moody atmosphere, especially during a tense finale when Holmes and Blackwood duel on top of a partially-constructed London Bridge, overlooking a partially-constructed city.
