Movie review – Sherlock Holmes
February 18, 2010 at 6:22 am 2 comments
I’ve always been a Sherlock Holmes fan. As a loyal fan, I was hoping that the director does some justice to the legend. And quite frankly, I was also quite confident he would.
The movie is fast-paced, and has almost everything else you would expect to see in a Sherlock Holmes story – his brilliant deductions (I’ve always loved them), Watson, Irene Adler, even his arch-rival Professor Moriarty. As a bonus, unlike the TV series, you get to see good-looking versions of both Holmes and Watson, quite a bit of action sequences and even a hint of comedy.
Looks like Ritchie already has a plan for a sequel coz the movie ends on a note which gaurantees a follow-up story. I look forward to that as well.
I only wish I had subtitles for the movie as well – the british accent is hard to follow and you don’t want to miss a bit of Holmes’ amazing deductions.
Must-watch for everyone, especially Sherlock Holmes fans.

Malla good to see you back!
I was such a fan of Sherlock Holmes when I was a child, I think I had his complete works; and it was that fan status that prevented me from seeing the movie – what if it was a poor make…. After reading your review looks like I should watch it!

This may not be your usual Sherlock Holmes story – even the characters seem a little different. Go with an open mind – its just the director’s take on the legendary detective.
