Earlier today I was reminded that there is another Sherlock Holmes movie coming out at the end of this year currently titled “Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.” I am looking forward to this movie because the first movie that came out in 2009 was really good. The first movie “Sherlock Holmes” was fantastic. I personally love detective like movies because I always try my hardest to figure things out before the movie gets to the climax. In the Movie Sherlock is trying to solve the murders being performed by a man named Lord Henry Blackwood who was thought to be dead. After much detective work Holmes finds out that the real culprit, who is pulling the strings behind Blackwood, is Professor Moriarty. Moriarty got Blackwood to try and kill the members of parliament with a machine that will release cyanide gas. In the end it turned out that Blackwood and his goal to kill the members of parliament was just a very elaborate distraction. Moriarty’s true goal was to steal a piece of the machine being used to pump cyanide gas into the parliament building. The movie end with no one knowing what Moriarty is going to do with the piece he stole but hopefully we will find out in the next movie. Robert Downey Jr. played a very good Sherlock Holmes. I would have to say his performance was crazy, insane, and genius.
*I give “Sherlock Holmes” a 9 out of 10*
I absolutely love this movie, so I'm really glad you think it's worthy of a 9/10 rating! My whole family complained about how "boring" the plot is and how it lacks action or adventure. I believe that this detective film has a good amount of both - the comedy throughout is a nice touch as well. All the elements in this well-paced "Sherlock Holmes" movie fit together well - it isn't too wordy or stuffy, and the characters' quirks make every scene just as colorful as the last. The British accents are a nice touch! The main villain, Moriarty, as portayed in this movie adaptation comes off as a sinister genius ready to engage Holmes in a battle of wits. I can't wait for the sequel! Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law are perfect for the roles of Holmes and Watson!
