i mean, it's robert downey, jr. what more do you need?

we went to see the new sherlock holmes movie last night and contrary to the findings of all the professional reviewers, we found it highly entertaining. the costumes and sets were flawless, the action spectacular, the dialog sparkling, the characters amusing. don't tell the professional, but they don't know what they are talking about. these sherlock holmes movies seriously make 1891 look like THE place to be - 1891 in a gypsy camp, or on a half-blown-up train, or below the stage at the opera. even the dirty street urchins are dirty in a cute way.
