Guy Ritchie (Snatch, RocknRolla) attempts to reinvent one of the world's most iconic literary figures as an action hero in this brawny, visually arresting period adventure. Robert Downey Jr. is an intriguing choice for the Great Detective, and if he occasionally murmurs his lines a pitch or two out of hearing range, his trademark bristling energy and off-kilter humor do much to sell Ritchie's notion of Holmes. Jude Law is equally well-equipped as a more active Dr. Watson--he's closer to Robert Duvall's vigorous portrayal in The Seven Per-Cent Solution than to Nigel Bruce--and together, they make for an engaging team. Too bad the plot they're thrust into is such a mess--a bustling and disorganized flurry of martial arts, black magic, and overwhelming set pieces centered around Mark Strong's Crowley-esque cult leader (no Professor Moriarty, he), who returns from the grave to exact revenge. Downey and Law's amped-up Holmes and Watson are built for the challenge of riding this roller coaster with the audience; however, Rachel McAdams as Holmes's love interest, Irene Adler (here a markedly different character than the one in Arthur Conan Doyle's "A Scandal in Bohemia"), and Kelly Reilly as Mary Morstan, the future Mrs. Watson, are cast to the wind in the wake of Ritchie's hurricane pace. One can imagine this not sitting well with ardent Sherlockians; all others may find this Sherlock Holmes marvelous if calorie-free popcorn entertainment, with the CGI rendering of Victorian-era London particularly appealing eye candy. --Paul Gaita

 Timely arrival and played like new, Great Movie! September 10, 2010
N. Millikin (Colorado)
DVD was as advertised, like new, and delivered in a timely manner. Love this movie! If you have read Sherlock Holmes, you will love this movie! It is great to see that the movie pegged him almost to a T! Boxing, drugs, black moods, experiments, make-up, seeing all the little details that we mere mortals look at but do not see; terrific! If you have not read Shirlock Holmes, you might be wondering why this is not like the proper English man played by Basil Rothbone. This is more upbeat, more lively, more the way I see it played out when reading Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. And, as a plus, you can actually see what is going on, unlike the old black and white shows with all the fog!
Good story, great picture, excellent sound September 10, 2010
Cory Liverman
Just as the title of the review suggests, good story, great picture with blu-ray, and great sound. Very enjoyable movie.
 Sherlock Holmes Bluray September 6, 2010

I was slightly disappointed with this purchase. I've purchased from you guys before and I've gotten quality products but not this time. The Bluray that was sent to me was not the original Bluray that was in the box. It was a Bluray that was a rental off of Redbox, Blockbuster or some other DVD rental location. The Bluray itself says "Rental".
 Excellent Movie. September 5, 2010
Ashley Wanger (Tahlequah, OK)
I always look for movies with a great dialouge. This definatly fits the bill.
Sherlock Holmes September 5, 2010
The Shadow (Elmira ny usa)
Basically the same as the earlier one, but also a lot different then i had expected with better special effects and more flare, and a different story line then i have know. the earlier film showed him a lot different, also Homes. Basically a good addition to my collection.
