	Votes +22 +22 / -0 thumb up thumb down Sherlock Holmes (2009) Genre: Drama 80% Posted on 8/18/11 08:34 PM Classified: Very Fresh Defining Moment: Any time Sherlock broke things down for the audience to step into his process of thought is amazing. Highs: Perfect casting, Robert Downey JR is superb being both a genius mixed with sides of insanity. Jude Law is great as Watson bringing out the best in Downey, then to add Mark Strong and Rachel McAdams gives this cast so much strength. Story is well told and great scenery of old London. Lows: Although the storyline was great and well told, I didn't think that it was the one needed for the opening Sherlock movie (I will explain in conclusion). H&L Conclusion: Although I really enjoyed this film, I did feel that it was the wrong story told. I believe that they should have one or two movies that were well told murder mysteries and then moved too the more 'impossible' super-natural case. Just a pet-peeve but I feel like the heightened sense of danger has been taken out, where else do they go? Apart from that awesome way of telling a Sherlock Holmes story. Edgy, classy and funny with great moments of intensity and danger. Check it out ....

Guy Ritchie's style of directing adds to the freshness of these characters which have been depicted in innumerable movies and plays before. 1 Replies \| Report Abuse The Highs and Lows Review on 8/18/11 at 11:53 PM Thanks for reading. 0 Replies \| Report Abuse John Matrix on 8/18/11 at 08:57 PM The Asylum version, featuring dinosaurs, an Iron Man suite, and a giant robotic dragon, is better. 1 Replies \| Report Abuse The Highs and Lows Review on 8/18/11 at 11:53 PM Cool 0 Replies \| Report Abuse Daniel R. on 8/18/11 at 09:43 PM Great review.

I liked it, but it felt like it should've had a better story.
