I love Holmes and Watson so I'm game to watch any films/TV that include them. Of course I've read the books to. What self respecting person has not. Have I gone to far,? Okay maybe not everyone has read Arthur Conan Doyle but if you've never heard about Sherlock Holmes your living under a rock or lead a very sheltered life.
I really enjoyed the film. I feel bad for missing out on it at the theaters. For me, I think what makes it fun is that Robert Downey Jr just looked like he was having a blast. I love Rachel McAdams, she was pretty decent. I mean her role could of been written better but that didn't make me like the film any less. Who doesn't love Mark Strong, great villain. The legendary Geraldine James graced the film, wish it was a bigger role. I love her. Jude Law was, well Jude Law.
What I really loved about this particular Holmes film was that Holmes wasn't so stuffy and that their was a decent amount of humor and action. I now they wanted to take Sherlock Holmes in a different direction and I think they were successful. I mean was this film perfect, no, there were a few problems but it doesn't take away from it. It's just a fun ride. Were not finding cures for diseases or helping to achieve world peace threw this film. Take it down a notch and enjoy it for what it is, fun. The mystery was interesting. I have heard a bit of complaining about it but Holmes has dealt with potentially super natural theories before. It's not out of the blue. The costume and set pieces were nice. Not excellent but the ladies looked pretty good in what they were wearing. I also loved the coloring the film had.
Jeez, baby crying. Gotta go.
