Plot Summary
As they're looking into the downing of a treasure ship -- supposedly by a massive squid -- Sherlock Holmes (Ben Syder) and Dr. Watson (Gareth David-Lloyd) get word that a dinosaur is running amok in London.

Taken aback by the news that his long absent brother (Dominic Keating) has materialized, Holmes remains resolved to crack this case of science gone mad.

    The movie as a whole is clever, and conspicuously overwrought. But Mr. Downey's performance is elegantly wrought; he's as quick-witted as his legendary character, and blithely funny in the lovers' spats—all right, the mystery-lovers' spats—that Holmes keeps having with Jude Law's witty Dr. Watson. show more

    With a clamorous soundtrack and a whirl of elaborate chases and busily choreographed fight scenes, this is Sherlock Holmes with Attention Deficit Disorder. show more
