One of the best movies of 2009

Rating: 8/10 (26 December 2009)

We had noisy and explosive blockbusters in summer etc.Transformers 2, G.I Joe. While they were entertaining, they were just into the action with simple story and some lame jokes. So now comes December, other than Avatar, another so-called blockbuster is Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock Holmes is a reboot by Guy Ritchie which shows the younger Sherlock and his partner, Waston. Whether it is a true reboot, I don't know as I am not familiarise with the original. But this reboot will definitely get some new fans.
The story: It has a good mix of genres, action and thriller/suspense and mystery with a touch of humour. In the end, Guy manages to blend them together and forms an entertaining, thrilling and good movie. Sherlock does action, he does boxing and he seems not to be afraid of pain. Not only he knows perfect action, he also can visualise. That is what makes him so deadly. Other than that, his mind is smart and can observe background fast and still manage to say quirky humorous jokes. Robert Downey Jr is good for that Sherlock. Han Zimmer also does a perfect job in creating the electrifying music.
Overall: It is worth a watch. Even if you don't know who is Sherlock Holmes, it is still good to watch this and who knows, you may even become a fan of him. It is a good blockbuster as the summer has noisy and non-sense blockbusters, this actually has a plot with twists and at the same time packed with action and thrills.
