I recently had the pleasure of watching the latest installment in the Guy Ritchie masterpiece, namely- Sherlock Holmes. This movie rivals all of Ritchie's previous films, including the likes of Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. It’s insane to put it mildly!
Sherlock Holmes boasts a great cast, including Robert Downey Jr as Sherlock (stealing the show) and Jude Law as Dr Watson. Not to mention Rachel McAdams (she's SMOKING HOT!) and Mark Strong putting in massive performances and adding to the unbelievable aura surrounding the film.
You'll be completely convinced by Ritchie's cool, funky blend of the pipe-smoking detective and his rough-housing best mate, that you'll hardly ever have the time to think about the adventure that’s taking place in front of your eyes. By the end, you'll honestly sit there thinking to yourself how it is even humanly possible to create such a smooth ride from start to finish.
Robert Downey Jr.'s presence hits all the right marks, he's chaotic, smart and tough throughout the film, the complete package basically. But really, I think Watson's love for a boozing, rather rough around the edges yet extremely intelligent Holmes that brings the picture together. This relationship plays out so ceremoniously and leaves you in awe as you get completely entwined in their highs and lows. Ritchie's portrayal of extinct London life is also something to behold and really pushes this film to even greater heights. It shows that it more than just an action-packed block-buster.
Intense purists will most likely chunder at the sight of some altered details, but who actually cares really. I think it is a perfect reincarnation of an icon, especially for a new, more vibey generation. This film is actually too hot to handle. GO WATCH IT NOW!
