As much as I am a fan of the earlier versions of Sherlock Holmes, I am thrilled to see it done with modern actors and with modern sets.
Richard Roxburgh (Moulin Rouge!, Mission: Impossible II, Van Helsing) makes for a great Holmes, and Ian Hart (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone) a great Dr. Watson. One can only hope to see more of both of them in these roles.
While we all know the story, it is not spoiled by a retelling, especially with such fine actors.
The scenery is vastly improved in this version, and the hound is very ferocious looking to boot.
