Never Knew Sherlock Holmes Could Be So Cool

Rating: 10/10 (7 June 2014)

Holmes & Dr. Watson are back, this time in a modern movie remake of the popular sleuth novels.
I'm not going to lie, when I first heard about this film being released in cinemas I was worried, as there have been many attempts to create a good film from successful novels, but have failed to accurately capture the level of depth and detail in the books.
When I watched this film, however, I was blown away and did not regret my decision at all. Holmes and Watson, portrayed by Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, are played superbly. The acting is second-to-none, but the story line is incredibly gripping. The action scenes are outstandingly filmed, with Holmes and Watson shown to have the combative element not mentioned in the novels, however, when it came to the movie this added to it very nicely.
To top it all off, the story line is very captivating, and my favourite personal touch is actually how Holmes figures everything out and all is explained throughout the movie in due course.
Must watch, for action movie fans and for Sherlock Holmes lovers!
