Okay. I saw it. And honestly, I liked it. I spent the whole time picking it apart for details, and it was unresearched and got innumerable small details wrong, but it did capture the spirit rather well. Holmes was sufficiently brilliant and sufficiently cold for my tastes, Watson was intelligent and dashing, and London was grimy. I took issue with Irene Adler being an international criminal (slut), and the Scooby Doo-esque ending, but I honestly expected it to be much worse, and it was good enough as a tribute. The music was awful, though. In ten years, people will listen to that horrible heavy synthetic bass line and go "OMG that's sooooooo 2009." It was actually reminiscent of the new Doctor Who theme in terms of datedness.
