As to capturing the true Holmes spirit, watch Jeremy Brett's portrayal, as he is considered "definitive" by the most of the "Holmesians".The movie is good, and entertaining. But I am pretty sure that Downey's Holmes will not be considered one of the best. Apparently, the reviewer knows very little about Sherlock Holmes, and Doyle’s writings.

I think you pretty much had the same reaction I did to the film; for a movie everyone is saying looks nothing like Holmes, it is pretty faithful in spirit to Dolye's work and has a number of inside references.Another I liked about it was it had a couple of homages to the Basil Rathbone/Nigel Bruce film. The violin & flies in the jar scene is taken from "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" & Inspector Lestrade unable to pronounce catatonic is almost verbatim from "Sherlock Holmes and the Pearl of Death."

RDJ's "accent" was a little hard to understand at times. I'm not a Jude Law fan, but I thought he and RDJ did well together in this movie.
