Amazing, my dear Watson

Rating: 9/10 (27 May 2017)

Wow. This story is one of the best mysteries I have ever seen. However, if the clues normally wouldn't add up to you, the editing allows you to see with very little dialogue what Holmes is thinking. Speaking of Holmes, Robert Downey Jr. nails it as Holmes. He has the perfect balance of detective and fighter, just like he did in the books. Jude Law, Rachel McAdams, and Mark Strong all do great as their characters. And the background and green screen really make you feel like you are in Victorian London. The only problem I have with the movie is the use of non-green screen CGI, such as when the boat is destroyed. It, and a few other effects looked fake. But other than that, the movie was great. Also a great job on Hans Zimmer's part for the theme. Not as good as Pirates, but still great. watch this whenever you can.
