Our Review for SH

Rating: 10/10 (12 January 2012)

Set in London in the 19th 20th century, Sherlock Holmes retells the story of the famous fictional detective. I think the main point of the story is quite simple, the good guys are trying to stop the bad guys from causing a European War. I like how the writer wrote the story, it's intense and also funny, and entertaining at the same time. The story involve 3 main characters, Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson, and Prof. Moriarty.
The characteristics of the characters are very unique. First of all, let's talk about Sherlock Holmes. Holmes is a lazy crazy smart guy, but he has a brilliant mind, a professional detective. Dr. Watson, he is Holmes' best friend who is really kind, nice, handsome, and smart. The bad guy named Prof. Moriarty, he's a very smart guy but unfortunately his personality is really bad.
What I like the most about the movie is the slow motion part in the forest. When the enemies were shooting and Holmes and his friends just kept running it's really cool. It made me go 'Wow', 'Cool' sort of things! The movie's sets were also convincing, London, the forest, the castle at the Swiss Mountain, German, and everything were making me felt like I'm in Holmes' time. I have no complaint about the sets.
I'm satisfied with the performance of the actors. They're all acting really natural and it's so real and so refreshing to our mind. You know, sometimes the movie is funny even when they're in a serious condition. Well, that's what I like about it.
In my opinion, Sherlock Holmes-Games of Shadow, is better than Mission Impossible-Ghost Protocol which is out at the same time. This movie is much more interesting, unpredictable,and makes you want to watch it over and over again. The moral value from the movie is to keep yourself aware of people around you, do not easily panic, and stay cool when facing problems.
