I'll be picking this one up for sure. :)

The Blu-ray also has a lenticular slipcover.

Really enjoyable film - especially the fight with the big French guy!

Maximum Movie Mode is quite a good idea; kind of so-so on the Terminator Salvation BD though.

That multi-play banner better be a sticker!

It is. Harry Potter had the same thing.

Shame about the lenticular cover on this one, unless they've managed to keep secret (I've not seen it) a twist where Jude Law is also playing Holmes.
