Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Best movie of this year hands down!
Absolutely the worst movie.
This is one if the best movie i have ever seen, half build Tower Bridge is a very valuable addition ! Robert Downey Jr acts brilienty as the sherlock homes, this is not what i expected according to the book, but i think this way is better , with little bit funny !
I like Sherlock Holmes. I like the books. I like the old Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce movies. I was not particularly keen on Robert Downey Jr, Jude Law or the gor-blimey direction of Guy Ritchie. So it was with trepidation that I approached this new movie version of the Baker St sleuth. Ready to find fault I found myself warmly engaged from the start. The good chemistry between Downey and Law is a joy throughout. There is something tragi-comically Withnail and I about them so, if Withnail floats your boat, this may be the Holmes for you. The use of CGI is not overbearing and creates a very credible Holmesian London. The supporting actors are, without exception, excellent; special credit to Mark Strong, Rachel McAdams, Eddie Marsan, Geraldine James and Kelly Reilly. It has now become one of the films I can watch over and over; as comforting as the crackle from the hearth on a winter day. If you, like me, are a fan of Sherlock Holmes and you have not yet watched this film then I hope it will prove as much of a pleasant surprise to you as it did to me. Highly recommended. Well done, Mr Richie.
While there have been countless film and television portrayals of Sherlock Holmes and his assistant Dr. Watson, the whodunnit genre is never one that audiences tire of, so why not continue to make them? Robert Downey Jr. stars as the famed literary detective, with Jude Law at his side. When I first heard of this film's production, I learned the cast and thought, "Oh, Jude Law will make a great Sherlock Holmes!" But, as is sometimes the case, Michael Robert Johnson, Anthony Peckham, and Simon Kinberg's script wrote Holmes to be the eccentric one with Watson as the straight man. Thus, Jude Law took second billing and saved his talent for later.Robert Downey Jr. already proved his flawless British accent in Chaplin, so it's no stretch to see him blend into his surroundings. However, he's one of those love-him-or-leave-him actors, and this movie probably won't change the opinion you already have of him. If you think he's talented, handsome, and funny, you'll like Sherlock Holmes. If you think he's overrated and emits an ego larger than his talent, you won't like it.Director Guy Ritchie added an extra technical difference to his film, one that's also a love-it-or-leave-it feature. In the many action scenes throughout the film-this isn't a wordy mystery, it's an action-comedy-the footage is slowed down at random moments, showing details that would normally be impossible to spot. Someone throws a punch, and the camera shows the ripple of skin when contact is made, the expectorate from the injured man's mouth, and the low groan of pain to coincide with the slowed down footage. I found it a little too modern and jarring; I would have preferred every aspect to fit with the time period.
This certainly is a more "out there" version of Sherlock Holmes, but I can day with conviction that I really loved this version. Robert Downey Jr. is great as the lead and Jude Law is fitting in the supporting role of Watson. Also in the supporting role category is Rachel Mcadams, and she is very good too. The movie will grab you right from the beginning, with it showing a man performing what appears to be a Satanic ritual, with a woman writhing and under the influence of whatever magic he is performing. I don't know about you, but when I see something like that in a movie, I wanna stick around to find out more. The action sequences are well done, some are actually in slow motion as Holmes explains exactly how he will beat up this person he is fighting, and then he does it in regular motion, which was cool to see. The mystery to the movie is good, no humongous twists here, but still the film is entertaining as anyone could ask for, and it will certainly keep ones attention. The acting is just so good all around by everyone in the cast too. Guy Ritchie directs the film beautifully, which I commend him for. I encourage you to go see Sherlock Holmes, I can guarantee that you will not regret it. Can't wait to see a game of shadows! 8/10.
