My Thoughts:
- This movie was a newer and fresher Sherlock Holmes. I loved it!! It was exciting!
- I LOVE Robert Downey Jr. as Holmes. He cracks me up!
- I thought Jude Law portrayed a really cool Watson. I'm used to seeing an older pudgier Watson, and it was a nice change.
- I don't like that everyone had an accent except Ms. Adler. What is wrong with her? Couldn't she pull off an English accent?
- The action sequences were really good. I loved how Holmes and Watson took down all the baddies.
- It was hilarious how Holmes got destructive when he got bored. He is just like a dog. When an intelligent dog gets bored, he destroys your house.
- It was good for me to watch this multiple times. I caught on to a lot more and looked for different things.
- I've heard a lot people say they didn't like this movie because it was dark. I loved that aspect though. It took place in Victorian England. Things weren't all rainbows and sunshine. I liked the the darkness and fear. It added a lot to the urgency of solving the case.
- I'm way excited to see the 2nd movie!!
- Confession: I have never read any of the Sherlock Holmes books. I desperately want to though, and I think I'll pick a copy for myself sometime soon!
Great review! I love this movie. RDJ is awesome as Holmes and I love the "chemistry" between him and Jude Law as Holmes and Watson.
ReplyDeleteThe second one is good too. I hope you enjoy it and I look forward to your review of that on as well.
