    A Movie Review: Sherlock Holmes


    As the year 2009 is coming to a close and the year’s blockbuster movies have come and gone, there aren’t much high-profile movies left till we usher in the new year. One of it was Avatar (which is actually a no-brainer). The other, was of course, Sherlock Holmes, starring Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law and Rachel McAdams. Movie review below:

    Plus points: Robert Downey Jr., hands down. Although it was supposed to be a detective/mystery movie, it is surprisingly a very funny and very witty movie too - thanks largely to Robert’s undeniable charisma. The Sherlock Holmes-Dr. Watson partnership was portrayed to perfection by Robert and Jude, and you can see from the start of the movie that the chemistry between the two was there. But of course, Robert’s portrayal of the genius detective was absolutely fabulous. He managed to bring life and much-needed humour to the sometimes-boring legendary detective. In this movie, Robert showed us why he is one of Hollywood’s most talented actors. Yes, he is that good!

    Minus points: I do not have much complains about the movie, although you might get lost in the plot a little bit. Just a little bit. But what do you expect, it’s a detective movie after all.

    Should you or shouldn’t you: Yes, yes and yes. This movie is worth every penny.
