Sherlock Holmes (2009)

This film is directed by Guy Ritchie, who's last film was RocknRolla, which should have told me that this would be a British movie that is hard to understand. Don't get me wrong, I really liked RocknRolla, but you have to accept that you aren't going to be able to understand everything the characters are saying.

Ritchie modeled this movie as a "bromance", Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law play Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, respectively. The strange thing about this movie is they play doctors with the typical Sherlock Holmes ability to detect clues from minute details, and they are also bad-ass fighters. So brain and brawn, in a strange mix. Holmes is basically a bum for a good part of the movie, making money from fighting. His "bromance" with the clean cut Dr. Watson is an unnecessary spin on the film, distracting from the case they are trying to solve, and not the chemistry that really fit this film.

It was pretty good, probably fun on a big screen since it has some nice explosions and action sequences around the construction of a ship and bridge. I just doubt I will want to see it again, but I'm sure they will plan a sequel.

Vote: 7/10
