Ethan_AllenNovember 28, 2024The circus version of Sherlock Holmes is quirky and charming. Add in the gay romance with the handsome Jude Law, some thrilling action scenes, and the cool backdrop of Victorian London, and it’s clear why Guy Ritchie's commercial take was such a big hit.

Avery_SantiagoNovember 28, 2024This movie feels pretty similar to the first one. Same slow-mo scenes and familiar visuals, which honestly makes it a bit tiring to watch. Sherlock Holmes is basically a superhero now. But I’ve gotta give credit to Downey—his performance is spot on. He might not be the best Sherlock, but he’s definitely the most handsome detective to ever grace the screen!

Buster_MilesAugust 27, 2025Este filme é muito semelhante ao primeiro. As mesmas cenas em câmera lenta e visuais familiares, o que honestamente torna um pouco cansativo de assistir. Sherlock Holmes é basicamente um super-herói agora. Mas tenho que dar crédito a Downey – sua atuação é perfeita. Ele pode não ser o melhor Sherlock, mas ele é definitivamente o detetive mais bonito que já apareceu na telonas!

Wade_LancasterAugust 27, 2025Esta película se parece bastante a la primera. Las mismas escenas en cámara lenta y efectos visuales similares, lo que sinceramente hace que sea un poco repetitiva. Sherlock Holmes es ahora básicamente un superhéroe. Sin embargo, tengo que reconocer el mérito de Downey: su interpretación es perfecta. Puede que no sea el mejor Sherlock, pero sin duda es el detective más guapo de la pantalla.

Entertainment OverviewOctober 8, 2024Lo mejor hubiese sido ir por un conflicto menos grande en escala para trabajar un poco más en los personajes y terminar de sentar las bases para el enfrentamiento contra Moriarty.
