An amazing twist to a Classic!

Rating: 9/10 (2 January 2010)

Sherlock Holmes in my opinion is a must see. It does stay true to the guidelines the original Sherlock Holmes stories provided. There is a twist however, and Holmes is a lot grittier, and more physical than he would be in the originals. For some this is going far against what the story should have been like. For me however, I thought it was really a great twist, not a better Sherlock Holmes, but a different one.
The fight scenes (or "pre-fight scenes) were my favorite parts of the movie, how he would break down in his head what exactly he would be doing, and then perform the actions without error.
I don't want to give away too much, so I'll end the review with this: If you are a hardcore original Sherlock Holmes story fan, this may not be the movie for you. If not, I think anyone else would love this movie from start to finish.
