Another Great Movie from Guy Ritchie

Rating: 8/10 (7 May 2010)

As not a fan of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, I watched this movie, and I really entertained. First of all for a detective movie, Guy Ritchie is one of few directors that I can think of. Christopher Nolan (The Prestige) and Neil Burger (The Illusionist) could be the other director choices. Also the script is well written, at the end of the story there are no cracks and you really enjoy when Holmes explains everything at the end of the movie. Fight scenes are not the best but I laughed at some scenes. Robert Downey Jr. did a really good job as Sherlock Holmes. Also Jude Law is a good choice for Dr. Watson. Mark Strong is a charismatic villain and I think he fits this type of characters. Soundtracks are absorbing the fight scenes, and when there is a funny scene again the music changes and it really fits to that funny scene.
Overall, my vote is 8/10.
