Holmes under the hammer

Rating: 2/10 (19 December 2018)

I decided to watch this as it was on Netflix. I'm glad I never went to the cinema to see it. Never been a Downey Jr fan and Jude law's best role was in The Talented Mr Ripley. Therefore I wasn't at al surprised when on watching this film I was presented with a dull, unenthralling bore fest. Guy Ritchie's trade mark slow motion scenes are there and to be honest I have no idea why Downey Jr is hailed as a bankable star as I really couldn't see much difference in his acting ability from Tony Stark..- SUCH PHENOMINAL RANGE. Eddie Marsan once tweeted that acting does not inspire him...I can only assume that it's a result of being in this movie. The attention to scenery, costume was excellent but the story was boring and the characters tedious.
