| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeMake no mistake, Sherlock Holmes is every inch a Guy Ritchie picture -- only it's a Guy Ritchie picture about Sherlock Holmes. |
| The Movie KitKit BowenFueled by director Guy Ritchie's fast-paced action and Robert Downey Jr.'s uncanny skill at inventing his own unique spin on his characters, Sherlock Holmes thoroughly entertains from beginning to end. |
| Dallas Morning NewsJoy TippingThis is rip-roaring action-adventure of high order, a sometimes dizzying but ultimately thrilling display of showmanship on the part of the actors, director and screenwriters. |
| FilmsInReview.comVictoria AlexanderGreat, energetic fun! Guy Ritchie is back and delivers a strong, gay romance. Entire production excellent. |
| Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL)Jeffrey WesthoffA character known for his supreme intelligence should not be trapped in such a dumbed-down plot. |
| Windy City TimesRichard KnightA stylish, frisky film that sets up the franchise deftly |

| Kansas City StarRobert W. ButlerWorst of all, this Sherlock Holmes isn't fun. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordThis is a hip interpretation of the source material but give me Basil Rathbone any day as Holmes. |
