In that, this is very much the world where this version of Holmes lives, and, between Ritchie, the environment, and Downey’s outstanding performance, the character is given a light and almost comical aura. Luckily, the computer generated backdrops and set pieces, though not very weighty, lend an airy and blithesome nature to the otherwise dark and gritty course the film takes. Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes is a wild and bully sort who lives in a gray, muddy, and very CG looking London. From a screenplay by seemingly a dozen, different people, SHERLOCK HOLMES is a film that very easily could be a train wreck, a film so incomprehensible and choppy in every last detail that it can’t help but elicit awe in the wonderment of its being.įortunately, the director pulling all of the elements tightly together here is Guy Ritchie, who knows a thing or two about bringing a number of paths into a cohesive narrative with films like SNATCH and ROCKNROLLA.
MOVIE REVIEW SHERLOCK HOLMES 2015 CRACKED
This Holmes is a scrapper, anti-authoritative, and it wouldn’t surprise anyone to learn he solved most of his cases with a couple of cracked ribs.
This SHERLOCK HOLMES is one that we have never seen before, a more adventurous and run-jump-and-kick type than the methodical and decorous Holmes we’ve seen before. However, Blackwood’s nature in the dark arts, his apparent rising of the grave, and a continuation of the murders pulls Holmes and Watson back into the fold. Their last case, that of a sadistic serial killer named Lord Blackwood, played by the captivating Mark Strong, seems to have come to a close with the capture and eventual hanging of the man.
This doesn’t keep adventure and mystery from closing in on them. Watson, played here by Jude Law, to leave their home at 221B Baker Street and find his own life with a loving fiancee. He has driven his proper and, until now, faithful companion Dr. Played by Robert Downey Jr., this latest incarnation of Holmes is a messy and almost indecent man who can’t help but collect facts and data in any situation he finds himself.
