Sherlock Holmes: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Best Review
Guy Ritchie's highly-anticipated film about Sir Arthur's legendary sleuth from 221b Baker Street is nothing less than a bull's-eye saying "V.R." My favourite tracks are "Psychological Recovery...6 Months," "Catatonic," "I Never Woke Up In Handcuffs Before," "Marital Sabotage" & "Discombobulate" (featured prominently at the end of the movie).
However, I feel "Psychological Recovery...6 Months" was mis-named, though, as it's really the big action set-piece, which takes place during the thrilling climax of this excellent film. Robert Downey Jr, Jude Law & Rachel McAdams were perfect. Downey's English accent was spot-on, and there are references a-plenty from the stories themselves, including a famous line from William Shakespeare's "Henry V," which was used by Sir Arthur as Holmes' catchphrase. Mark Strong was imposing and terrifying as the villain. All the while, a familiar adversary lurks in the shadows...

The Sherlock Holmes - Anninstnt - Aubrey, Texas USA
This soundtrack as well as the movie reminds me of those great 60's and 70's movies like "The Great Race" and "The Great Train Robbery", albeit more moddern and a bit darker. The film is just as fun as the music and vice versa. The soundtrack holds up to all the great soundtracks, meaning it has its own story to tell without the film.
Awesome soundtrack - Zizzed - Portland, OR United States
I could repeat what many have said, but I will keep it simple - this is a fantastic soundtrack. It has a very unique sound and fits Guy Richie's style very well. After seeing the movie I couldn't get the main melody out of my head for hours. When I bought the soundtrack, I must have listened to it two or three times and savored every track. Discombobulate is a thoroughly enjoyable 2 and half minutes of fun.
Good stuff. Hans Zimmer is in the same exalted category of great composers as Goldsmith, Williams, Horner, and (more recent inductee) Giacchino.
Ennio Morricone shoulda got a credit for the theme... - Tuco - Phoenix, Az USA
I enjoy the album as much as the next guy but I am surprised it's not mentioned in any reviews how heavily Zimmer 'borrowed' both theme and sound from Ennio Morricone's Once Upon a Time in the West score...

Otherwise, it's a refreshing departure from Zimmers normal action score style.
