It’s Christmas time. To go with that it’s New Years Eve. It’s time to have fun and go crazy. And to help you do that we have the thrilling Sir Arthur Conan Doyle detective adaptation Sherlock Holmes. The movie has been moderately advertised because everyone knows no American or British will ever miss a chance to get their hero back in the screen.
Initially there was a debate about who will portrait the role of Sherlock Holmes. But the clouds cleared when American sweet heart Robert Downey Jr. was selected as the Sherlock Holmes. The viewers were happy and so was Robert.
The movie has an infrastructure of an adventurous romantic story where Holmes and Watson (played by Law) decides to go their own way but once they go through all the happenings they realize how much they need each other. The movie begins with Watson preparing to move out of the famous 221b Baker street house and prepares to propose Marry and start a proper family life. Holmes for interesting reasons sabotages the marriage and brings him back to the detective game.
The movie takes sharp turn with the revival of dead Lord Blackwood who was convicted and hanged under Watson’s own supervision. Holmes quickly buckles up to find this person and prevent him from capturing the world and he uses his foolproof logical method to do that. In the mean time Holmes’s old affair Irene (Rachel McAdams) comes to the town working with a shadowy boss dealing arms.
If you have seen the movie trailer, you must be confused about how all these can be put together at the end. But remember this is Sherlock Holmes you are talking about. Unless he tells you what’s going on you will never know and when he does, you will be kicking yourself for how could you not see it.
in a nutshell, this movie has all the ingredients of being a great movie and if you have enjoyed it I am sure you have not left the hall disappointed because I am a film critic and I love Sherlock Holmes and I would say I loved the movie.
