![]() If it were up to me, I’d say this was a definitive addition to Detective Holmes and Dr. The costuming is lovely with a design befitting of the era, if not wholly accurate, it does suit the production perfectly. Since I’m not fond of Downey, seeing him is this made me skeptical but he pulls off the iconic character while Rachel’s Irene doesn’t get the explanation she should. A few of characters are underused, but once again Mark Strong steals scenes as the villain. In fact, I draw many comparisons between this Sherlock and the BBC series. I’d be remiss if I didn’t also mention that some find fault with Holmes characterization. They all retain an aura of mystery, which is sometimes a little unnerving albeit right in this context.

It’s a style of filmmaking that takes adjustment, but after re-watches, it doesn’t even phase me now. In other words, we see Holmes strategies before they happen. It plays, in slow motion, out what is going on in Sherlock’s mind, so that you “get” everything that is about to happen. Irrespective, I do enjoy this for what it was, and boy, is it a fun ride! Filming is unique while at the same time being bizarre. In the end, everything has a logical explanation. Personally, I don’t find it overly troubling simply because it doesn’t affect my beliefs. We see various occult ritual (something that may upset some viewers). (Depending on who you talk with, filmmakers did so without downgrading the infamous detective we all know and love.) The only thing I did miss was the singularly popular phrase, “elementary, dear Watson.” At one end of the spectrum, you admire him for trying new things, and at the other, we want such faithful touches. Director Guy Ritchie gave his take a unique attitude all its own, which is desperately need when we see the same basic material over and over again. You’ve never seen Sherlock quite like this. Not being among them, I find no fault whatsoever with this in that context. Purists take issue with this recent feature film. ![]() ![]() FILM REVIEW | ‘Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows’ – A Good Sequel Tagging along reluctantly is Watson who’s about to marry the love of his life. A simple missing person’s case suddenly ties into the recent reappearance of Blackwood. Notorious for working outside the law, while Sherlock works with it, Irene has a job for him. I’m so glad that the movie is available to everyone, because Sherlock Holmes is a tale to be told.Coinciding with Blackwood’s return is the return of Irene Adler (Rachel McAdams). This feeling is phenomenal, and it surely made itself visible to me after I watched Sherlock Holmes, I really cannot praise this work of wonder enough, Guy Riche took one of (if not my first) favourite stories and portrayed it in such a way that it really blossomed the excitement of the book. That magic ‘after watching’ mood, where you find yourself analysing people on the streets and wanting to be the worlds (second) consultant detective. This opinion works in my eyes for movies as well, one of the main reasons why I loved this movie as much as I did. In my eyes, a writer can only be successful if his/her stories and tales can make the reader feel something, it doesn’t matter about sales or fame, it’s the effect. ![]() This Film is fast and swift, cunning and clever, and I found it thrilling and exciting, I thought it was perfect.
