Critics Sentiment
Holmes reveals Blackwood's supernatural feats were scientific trickery
Holmes discovers Blackwood's cyanide gas device beneath Parliament
The film recovers from its most convoluted plot elements during the Parliament conspiracy to deliver its most satisfying moment when Holmes rationally explains Blackwood's supernatural deceptions.
Critics consistently praised the chemistry between Downey Jr. and Law as the film's strongest element, along with Guy Ritchie's stylish direction and atmospheric Victorian London setting. While some found the conspiracy plot convoluted in the middle act, reviewers were won over by the thrilling Tower Bridge finale and Holmes's classic deductive reasoning. The film successfully modernized the character while maintaining his essential detective skills.
