The Game is Afoot

Rating: 10/10 (27 July 2012)

My grandfather got me into mysteries at a young age. Naturally, my attention went the way of legendary sleuth Sherlock Holmes. We would sit and watch the old Basil Rathbone movies on TV on Sunday afternoons.
Over the years, I have watched just about every incarnation of Sherlock Holmes that Hollywood has to offer. Some great and some just not worth the effort.
This incarnation of the legendary sleuth and his sidekick Watson is by and far my favorite of the Holmes/Watson relationship down.
One of the best aspects of the movies is following the clues, and being able to deduce through the eyes of Holmes. This was a master stroke on Guy Ritchie's part.
This movie, from the sets to the costumes to the on screen chemistry between all of the actors involved clicks in all of the right places, leaving the viewer with a very satisfied movie experience
