It was mostly confusing and incomprehensible. This is not fun for the whole family and I doubt most children would enjoy it.

Firstly the good points: Atmosphere of Old London quite vividly brought to life.

Rachel McAdams is luminous but the character she plays is irritating. Jude Law is OK but his role is not really necessary.

Bad points: Guy Ritchie's style of directing is confusing and he packs in too much plot detail into every single minute. Need to concentrate too hard to figure out what is going on and he expects you to remember all these split second images as clues. Interaction between the leads was strained.

Acting: Robert Downey's speech is unclear and hard to make out. Couldn't understand about half of his dialog. Why didn't they just cast an English man in this role? Story: There are very few funny or witty moments. The trailer is about as funny as it gets. So it is not a comedy at all. The dialog is not very pleasant or entertaining The overall confusion and chaos leaves you unsatisfied. Still don't understand the new crime at the ending. Or the role of the professor. Still some loose ends and the plot doesn't come together like why was Watson's girlfriend so strange.

Overall: Not an enjoyable movie. Just too hectic and unclear.
