Go see it. Now. If you have any respect at all for the series, you will love it. There are a few canonical issues (chief among them being Holmes “meeting Mary for the first time”), but all in all it is an engaging film – a little heavy on the action side, but that is certainly tolerable. They pulled off the whole “supernatural-turns-scientific” plot well, and I will admit I was pleasantly surprised that everything had a logical explanation – Holmes and the supernatural do not mix without a fair dose of reason, as I’m sure those of you who read the stories know very well already. The romance aspect was very well done – it wasn’t a major plot point, and where it did feature, it was subdued and classy.
Tl;dr: I loved the movie, go watch it.
