Director: Guy Ritchie

Stars: Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, Rachel McAdams, Mark Strong (more)

Synopsis: Detective Sherlock Holmes and his stalwart partner Watson engage in a battle of wits and brawn with a nemesis whose plot is a threat to all of England.

Why We're Excited: With the anticipation of Iron Man 2, we almost forgot about RDJ's take on the titular master sleuth, until the trailer made us think this could be the hottest bromantic blockbuster of the... winter? Rumors of reshoots and a mysterious cameo made us think they were going to push this back, but it's full steam ahead for Christmas (now if they could only make Jude's wish for a potential franchise come true).

Why We're Not: Our main concerns: All style, no substance, with Rachel McAdams in Elizabeth Swann mode?

Trivia: Sienna Miller was in talks for a role before her ex-fiance Jude Law was cast as Watson.
