This quote from the L.A. Times review is precisely my sense of the thing, a sense acquired entirely from trailers of this movie and of Ritchie's "Sherlock Holmes" franchise. Note: I'm not claiming cleverness or insight or anything - I have not seen, nor do I intend to see, any of the films involved - just saying this reviewer has expressed my feelings about things.

"The film seems to be following the same essential formula as Ritchie's successful "Sherlock Holmes" pictures, to take a vintage story set in the past and shoot it essentially as a modern story, with fancy contemporary effects and camera tricks, quippy dialogue and stylized costumes and sets. "
