Follows a typical Sherlock story line. Although the relationship and characterization of Watson and Holmes is quit different. I am a Jermey Brett fan. But I think if there is another homes movie I will accept the screen characters as they are. Worth the money.
loved loved loved this movie!
The movie comes on like gangbusters! The best buddy cop adventure since TANGO & CASH!!!
What does this have to do with Sherlock Holmes???
Beautiful sets and costumes. Amazing understanding of the period and the book. The Sherlock's Holmes trademark hat and cape were travelling clothes used only when travelling to the country or over seas. In the city there was no reason for him to wear them. If you read Sherlock Holmes you'll see how Ritchie stays true to the details while playing with aspects of the story that were never fully explained. Very clever, and fun.
Robert mummbles his way in such quick language that I missed "lots". Why are the background sounds so loud that you miss the mummbles ... thank God the synopsis at the end puts it togetehr visually. Very disappointed.
I found the storyline as being the CSI of the 1800's!. Too much talking, slow to build up, not sure worth spending it on movie, better at home n dvd!. Dep was great and saves the overall movie 6.5/10
An imaginative and creative adventure demonstrating the power of logic over superstition. Holmes was fantastically accurately portrayed and the story was better for it. Those who disliked it as a result of the intensity and violence need to revisit the source material.
It had it all, it was alot of fun !
Great movie...much better than expected. I'd somehow had expected more gore. Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law were a perfect fit. Easily 5 Stars. R.A.N.
