GO SEE IT. It's fabulous. The acting is perfect, as is the direction. I was soooo surprised with Watson's character. Not that I remotely remember the old Sherlock Holmes movies, but I do know that my stepdad loved them, I thought they were boring, and Watson was a doofus of a sidekick. In this movie, Watson is actually interesting and valuable. Holmes is a fantastic badass, good at just about everything from boxing to science.
No, I haven't read the series, so I don't know much about the history of the characters. I'm sure some geeks out there will find flaws and inconsistencies with the original story line, but as some kid off the street coming in to see a good movie, my socks were definitely knocked off and I can't wait for the next one.
