Actually Holmes did knock a few ruffians senseless, and of course tossed Professor Moriarty over Reichenbach Falls using his martial arts skills, but overall yes, Holmes was a detecting machine, not a unlimited fighting competitor.

I for one am NOT going to see this movie. To me Jeremy Brett was the definitive Sherlock Holmes.
