Just got back from watching Sherlock Holmes and The Book of Eli, will review while its still fresh.
Sherlock Holmes - I was not pleased with what they did to the detective. From what I read of Arthur Conan Doyle Holmes wasn't much of a fighter. He preferred to use his mind to solve crimes. I don't recall him ever getting into a boxing match or gun fight with an adversary. In fact the only recollection I have of his using any violence was against Moriarty at the end of the series. Needless to say, I was not happy with what they turned him into. And the whole cult religion thing was a bit ridiculous. 7/10 for good action and at least putting SOME logic and detective skills in the movie.
The Book of Eli - Now this movie I liked. I think Denzel Washington did a very good job. The story was very captivating, although it did tend to get dry between action scenes. And although I expected a twist, the twist was not what I expected. I think I would have enjoyed it more, however I had other things on my mind at that point so I wasn't able to fully immerse myself into the movie. 8/10
