	Author	Review
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"While director Guy Ritchie's excesses and modern concessions -- among them a lot of explosions -- remain intact, the parts of this second Sherlock Holmes are considerably more rewarding"	POS
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"A modern action picture played in costume (...) It's Downey's movie (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"Can a movie be hyperactive and lazy at the same time? Clever and idiotic? If the director is Guy Ritchie, the questions answer themselves (...) There is a plot, but no real intrigue, mystery or suspense"	NEG
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"More of the stupid same (...) the grace notes are soon drowned out by Ritchie's incessant need to obliterate thought and feeling (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEG
United States	Kyle Smith New York Post	"The skill level in the script is elementary school, my dear Watson (...) Mystery? Thrills? Comedy? I’ve seen more in an episode of 'Scooby-Doo' (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"	NEG
