As I watched Guy Ritchie's latest movie, one word came to mind:
"Mediocre"
I didn't expect much going in, and I got what I expected.
I've been a fan of Robert Downey Jr after his role in KISS KISS BANG BANG and especially loved him in IRON MAN.
I was hoping to see what he would bring to the role of this classic detective.
He did well, but I'm afraid the writer's dropped the ball.
It seems as though they didn't let Downey be more creative with his role.
Speaking of the writing, they DID do a good job in the actual storyline and kept true to the classic storylines of debunking "supernatural" with "science".
And the wardrobe as well as the props and city designs were amazing.
Obviously, there will be a sequel and I hope they give Robert Downey more of a chance to make the character his.
Bottom line, this is a family-friendly rental.
