Guy Ritchie's best film in about ten years.

Rating: 10/10 (1 January 2010)

Guy Ritchie is like the English Quentin Tarantino. Except, well, not as good. Ritchie has had some great films, some OK films, and some terrible films. His first,Lock,stock, and two smoking barrels, was OK. His second, Snatch, was great. His third, Swept away, I never saw. But it bombed. I don't know what he did after that. But then he did Rocknrolla, which was OK. It had it's moments but not art. But now he returns with his newest movie. Sherlock Holmes. Which is his best movie since Snatch.
Ricthie changes the iconic characters Watson and Sherlock. Both are now ass kickers. I know, it's an odd twist. Well, if it makes the movie work, then I guess not. The film works anyways. I was never bored by Sherlock Holmes. It was funny, some of the action sequences were spectacular,the acting was good. It's exhilarating entertainment that you must see.
Robert Downey Jr. stars as the title role. Like most of Ritchie's plots, I have a hard time explaining what it's about. There is a lot to it. But I will tell you that the cast to it is very good. And it has a lot of what Ritchie uses.
I will tell you a few details. The plot at first seems like it will be something paranormal. It's not quite paranormal.It seems like it but it's not. I will not give anything else out besides that the movie is a lot of fun. See it.
Alright now I have come up with a way to describe the plot. The film starts off with Sherlock(Downey) and Watson(Law) going to save this woman from some sort of evil ritual. They soon learn it's a guy named Lord Blackwood, a priest or something. Eventually, Blackwood is put in prison and hung by the neck. And also more murders start to occur around the town. And they believe it was Blackwood. But how could he be back from the dead?
Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law have a strange kind of romance. Or bro-mance. Though Rachael Mcaams plays his mysterious love interest of some sort, Irene Alder, I always sensed that Law ands Downey had a bit more of something.
Another thing about the plot. Watson always feels tempted to go with Sherlock. Even when he is going on a date or something. The film is never boring, funny, and exciting., As I said before, see it.
