I saw Sherlock Holmes and generally concur with the "all right, but not as good as the first one" assessment. I'm not sure what I really liked about the first one that wasn't in this one, but I also know that I was spoiled by Mission: Impossible, which was endlessly entertaining. There were lots of little things and action scenes I loved, but I don't know.
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I saw Sherlock Holmes, too. I enjoyed it, but it took a while for me to start enjoying it. Once it started to get really twisty I liked it most. Loved the end.
Good end credits, too.

Loved the end.
I had no idea they were doing "The Final Problem."
Holmes's urban camouflage suits were frickin' hilarious.

And I was the only one laughing at first! Slow audience!
Another thing I liked was what they did with Watson's wife. Nice twist.

I really couldn't follow that whole bit.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What whole bit?

How the little red book was some sort of cipher for the location money and Mary knew how to decode it and there was money somewhere in pages and they gave it to the Inspector or something?
Sometimes I forget that in the olden days, when you had gobs of money, it could be physically taken away from you!

I just watched Mulholland Dr. For most of the movie, I was like, okay, this is interesting and a little weird, and there are a couple subplots that don't make sense, but I'm generally following the story.
And then.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
It was a twist, P-Cow! There's actually a pretty famous article on Salon that explains it if you don't want to fret about it.
