Finished off our Valentine's weekend with a trip to the cinema.
Romantic Chick Flick? No - for us it was Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes, which was every bit as good as I expected it to be i.e. Ace!
Impworks has already given the film a review here, which I would say pretty well sums it up.
To me it was like The Strand Magazine meets Michael Moorcock (I'm thinking of the likes of Oswald Bastable here), and was just simply loads of action packed, high adventure, historical/alternative history fun.
It was refreshing to see a Dr Watson who isn't just a device for Holmes to explain what's going on to the audience, and a Holmes who is as much decadent and depraved as he is genius.
We were some of those people who stayed in our seats just to watch the end titles, and can't wait for the sequel.
