Sherlock Holmes is back and stronger than ever in the twenty-first century!

Rating: 9/10 (2 May 2010)

This film is one of the best ones of the year 2009! First of all, it creates a charming and interesting atmosphere in beautiful words and images flavoured with great special effects in an ancient London.
Second, the main actors are doing a great job, they are really cool, charming and have their unique forces and advantages and personal mistakes or disadvantages.
Third, the story presents a lot of really interesting twists, very intelligent ideas and mysterious events which are all revealed in a logical and stunning way in the end which creates a really good tension.
Fourth, the movie is in the key of the legendary character on which were based many really solid books and movies, but it is much more than a copy as it is presents quite refreshing, authentic and modern characters and not an old-fashioned adaption. The movies balances between traditions, the cult established around the characters and a modern blockbuster with refreshing actors and atmosphere. That's quite courageous and may not be pleasant for the more traditional viewers and old fans of the books or movies, but it is innovating, interesting and opens this fantastic world to a younger public. Sherlock Holmes and Co. still exists in the twenty-first century and they are stronger than ever.
Go and watch this movie as traditional cults and refreshing elements are mixed to a brilliant and diversified movie! And let's wait for a possible sequel!
