This movie is not Brokeback Mountain

In this episode, director Guy Ritchie still uses a sharp editing style with Guy's bullet time to continue telling us the adventure story of the great detective. The structure of the story is quite delicate, the fly in the ointment is that, perhaps in order to meet the entertainment needs of the audience, it constantly strengthens the same-sex feelings of the two protagonists, and does everything possible, which affects the narrative to a certain extent. Overall quality is good, with motion effects suitable for cinema viewing.
I have to rant, I still don't like Robert Downey's scruffy look and deliberately British accent. When I watched the first episode, I was obsessed, if Sherlock Holmes was played by Hugh Grant, would it get more praise?
Compared with the BBC series "Sherlock" of the same period, the advantage of the film is that the director and actors can tell the story in relatively sufficient time. Viewers of such movies all hope to gain the pleasure of watching movies through subtle plots, but if there are too many bridges unrelated to the theme in the evolution of the movie plot, it will reduce the experience of pleasure. This is one of them.
Second, the power of capital led to Guy Ritchie's comprehensive compromise on American culture, and his overall perception was somewhat nondescript.
