The last movie I saw which was directed by Guy Ritchie was Rock n Rolla, which was a fairly intertaining movie, actully it was a pretty damn good gangster movie in a while.

Anyways, me and a couple of friends decided to go watch this movie on christmas day. This movie turn out to be a pretty good thriller and very entertaining one.

Robert Downey Jr. definelty made a good Sherlock Holmes, and Guy Ritchie definelty made this Sherlock Holmes a very interesting character. He's not your average Sherlock Holmes that wears that goofy hat, but in this movie he's not wearing a trench coat (trench coats are cool) but he does smoke his pipe. Anyway this version of Holmes turns out to be quite a cool guy and a very intresting man.

Jude Law also made a good Dr.John Watson, which was Holmes' sidekick, he is not to overshadowed by Holmes which is great and the relationship between Watson and Holmes is pretty interesting and a bit of a bromance.Rachel McAdams also gave a satisfying performance as usual.

The story is kind of complex and keeps you interested, and Holmes' fighting instinct and the point of view of his way of thinking, give the 'cool' factor.

The film making is well done, and although i don't know how close this verson of Sherlock Holmes is to the original version of the book. This is Sherlock Holmes like never before. And I'm pretty sure that Holmes and Watson from the book dont have total beast fighting skills, just like in the movie .Although that and a couple of funny lines makes this movie fresh and enjoyable.

The only thing that I wasn't fully satisfied about, is Rachel McAdams. We want to see more of her!
7.6/10
