I like "Sherlock Holmes" too; even though the actual mystery of the movie wasn't all that interesting, the characters, pretty cinematography, and performances kept me thoroughly entertained.
Can't wait to see Brad Pitt's Moriarty too...
On another note, from the movie's intro onwards, I couldn't help but think that it's a shame Batman Begins and Dark Knight didn't seize the opportunity to paint Batman as an effortless badass brainiac the same way Ritchie did for Holmes.
I know Holmes is obviously the originator in that relationship, but watching Holmes throw on random disguises and using his knowledge of anatomy to plan out surgical strikes on his foes before the first punch is even thrown made me think, "dude that is so Batman..." while I was watching the movie.
