Sherlock Holmes (Guy Ritchie), 2009

One of the most boring blockbusters ever, "Sherlock Holmes" cannot find a balance between sneering and spectacle.  There is no danger for anyone involved nor special mystery, or wonderment.  The London of this Holmes is dead as bad CGI can be, and it is not possible to ask something better for slick director Ritchie.  To make things worst, it seems that the powers in control decided to put all the "deleted scenes" in the theatrical version, thus running forever.  As an historical note, this movie was the counter-program to James Cameron's "Avatar". (2/5)
