Review of Sherlock Holmes (2009) by Ciaranh. — 29 Dec 2009
Over the years there have been countless adaptations of Sir Arthut Conan Doyle's series of books revolving aroudn the man with the most brilliant mind in the world, Sherlock Holmes. In fact, there have been so many adaptations from so many different medias that it takes a very good film to stick out from the Sherlock Holmes crowd.
Robert Downey Jr. (Holmes) brings his own unique style to the character. He shows previously unseen side of Holmes, he makes the character his own, much like Daniel Craig did in the recent James Bond films.
Although the plot is developed very slowly throughout the course of the film (which is definitely overlong), Guy Ritchie manages to keep us hooked through dramatic fights and a clever, witty script. In conclusion, if you want to see another boring and repetitive adaption of Sherlock Holmes do not go and see this film, if however if you want to see a unique and brilliant take on the story do come and see this thrilling film.
