Sherlock Holmes: From Novel to Big Screen!

Rating: 8/10 (17 August 2013)

I like English director Guy Ritchie for his stylish presentation and Sherlock Holmes is no different. Based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's original theme, this new film gives you fresh feeling about world's greatest detective ever lived (in people's heart!).
Being an American, Robert Downey Jr. performed the role of Holmes superbly, except some accent related glitches. And, not to mention, the way Jude Law presented Dr. Watson, it simply gives you a feeling that this pair arrived directly from the novels. People often dislike books turning into films as it significantly changes original characters' appeal. However, this movie, perhaps an exception as being a book-version lover, I liked the film-version no less.
I rated it 8 on 10 but would probably add an extra half if the length of the movie was a little shorter. Happy viewing!
