Mini-review: Sherlock Holmes

Ritchie's first outing for the iconic character has aged surprisingly well. It's more talky and less polished version of his second Holmes film, but sets up and finds something new to say about the relationship between Holmes and Watson.  It's very much a reluctant bromance.  The plot is somewhat hokey, but the advantage of these films over superhero ones is that at least no-one is expecting an origin story.
