Imagine London: late nineteenth, early twentieth century. Picture grand hotels and dirty little alleys. Put in the rich with their elegant dresses and their sophistication and the poor with their rough manners and rags. Drop in the fact that this is an era where there are no gadgets to be seen at all.
Imagine this time, place, society and level of scientific progress and then , in this setting, put in a mystery and two people, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson. If you're the kind of person who enjoys such a setting, you have two hours well-spent!
As you know, I'm not the kind of person who gives a lot about the movie or book, so all I'll tell you is that in this movie Holmes and Watson chase a certain Lord Blackwood who is allegedly using the Dark Arts to fulfill his goals. During this chase, we have Holmes coming to terms with the idea, that his dear friend Watson will be getting married and leaving him soon.
There are many reasons why I highly recommend this movie. It has mystery,friendship and Robert Downey, Jr.(Sherlock Holmes), Jude Law(Dr. Watson) and Rachel Mc Adams(Irene Adler-yes! we have Irene Adler too!).
The chemsitry between Watson and Holmes and Irene Adler and Holmes is fantastic. All three of them are entertaining both as individuals and as a team. Hats off to the three actors for their wonderful acting!
At the end, I have only two more words left to say:
WATCH IT!!!
