A mixed emotion for the movie "Sherlock Holmes"

Rating: 7/10 (28 May 2013)

When I was a kid, my father gave me the book as my birthday present in my native language. I was so excited that after reading the book, I bought another copy of the book of the original language. I dreamed about a healthy person with some peculiar habits. Sherlock was an intelligent man, who had a power of gathering and organizing information. A savvy man relied on experimenting when he had no cases that could entertain his mind. The man lived in 232/B, Baker street, England with his friend and associate Dr. John Watson. When I watched the trailer, I felt excited and waited for the movie. After the release of the movie, I somehow collected and watched it. After sometime I felt a spy person rather a detective. Director Guy Ritchie tried hard to focus on creating and giving a unique taste of age old Sherlock Holmes, but the story didn't fit with the memory from television show and book. The acting of Robert Downey Jr. was amazing but his superhero image from Iron man didn't fit in my eyes. Jude Law as Dr. John Watson in the movie was better than Sherlock. He presented himself as an intelligent, loyal helpful person as described in the previous resources. Two main lady characters (Rachel MacAdams as Irene Adler and Kelly Reily as Mary Morstan) were somehow contradicted with one another though the death of Irene Adler got some emotion from the viewers for the movie. After watching the movie my feeling is that it is not sour but not so sweet
