This is Guy Ritchie's take on 'Sherlock Holmes'. That alone should give you a clear sense of what to expect from this 2009.

I think this film's reputation was spoilt slightly by the fact that the bafflingly popular BBC TV series started around this time too, but there are several things to like about this film, in particular a good performance from the always lovely Rachel McAdam's.

It's lots of big explosions and fight scenes, and everything really you would expect from a Guy Richie film. It's up to you as a viewer to think whether that's the take you want on the famous detective.

I'm no fan of the BBC TV series, but this wasn't much better.
