For his crimes, he’s hanged and declared dead. A Lord Blackwood (Mark Strong), while dabbling in the occult, has sacrificed a few women for the cause. Setting aside his character “flaws” there is a mystery afoot. Ritchie and screenwriters Michael Robert Johnson, Anthony Peckham and Simon Kinberg also keep his pompous attitude intact (although that may just be a British thing). The man, it turns out, likes to put a beating on a foe, be it for fun or survival. Like Einstein, it is probably at the root of his genius. Watson (Jude Law) affords him the luxury of high-class experimentation.
I suppose that living with his trusty sidekick Dr. Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) is fond of his mind altering drugs. Sherlock Holmes is an unexpectedly fun action flick that showcases another side of the stodgy private eye altogether.įor starters, Mr. Of course with Guy Ritchie involved with the project, this wasn’t going to be anything your grandmother would recognize or approve of (that’s a good thing by the way). I suppose that was a long-winded way of saying I wasn’t overly impressed with the famed detective and not so much in interested in his re-imaging in Sherlock Holmes. Literally, the only things that come to mind are: He was a condescending bastard who smoked a pipe and wore a silly plaid hat with a matching half cape thingy.
#REVIEW SHERLOCK HOLMES MOVIE#
Via my forced high school readings of a novel or two and landing on a movie during a bored late night channel surf, I’m not surprised I remember very little of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s creation Sherlock Holmes.
