Sherlock Holmes - A great new adventure

Rating: 7/10 (3 February 2010)

There have been many versions of sherlock holmes before but this is definitely the best so far. Robert Downey Jr (RDJ) portrays Sherlock Holmes brilliantly and is greatly supported by Jude Law as Dr. Watson. This combination has brought life into this classic. The movie is fast paced and has some good twists. Though the overall character development is not perfect the chemistry between Jude and RDJ was awesome.
The narration is half baked and very repetitive in certain portions. The other characters also do justice to their roles and have shown great scene presence. Guy Ritchie has done a great job in the direction department has again shown that his movies have a dark comedy element to it like some of his previous flicks like Lock Stock or even Snatch.
There are a few plot holes in the script but again they are because of the poor narration and some screenplay flaws. The background score was pretty commendable. Also certain dialogues cant be understood clearly at all due to mumbling by RDJ(really irritating at times).
The art direction needs a special mention for some great sets and the overall look. The movie is a definite entertainer and a will be a great watch. The movie's ending shows hopes for a great sequel and looking forward to that
Verdict : 7/10
