great movie
Created: 05/11/10
Though Guy Ritchie (S*****) is best known for directing modern crime films set in England, he turns back the clock more than a century for this mystery inspired by Arthur Conan Doyle's classic characters. SHERLOCK HOLMES is based on a comic book by Lionel Wigram, and stars IRON MAN's Robert Downey Jr. as the titular detective. Jude Law (COLD MOUNTAIN) stars as Watson, while Rachel McAdams (THE NOTEBOOK) plays Holmes's rival Irene Adler. great movie

One of Downey's Best Movies
Created: 30/03/10
Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man) stars as Sherlock Holmes in this 2010 adaptation on the old classic novels. Jude Law stars as Watson. Holmes and Watson are off to save London from the evil Lord Blackwood (Mark Strong).
Older Holmes fans most likely will try to compare this movie to the movies that starred Basil Rathbone and that would be a mistake. In this incarnation, Holmes has taken a more pronounced approach to solving crimes. He has more whit and more spunk (if you will) and this ads to the story and leads to a few good laughs.
Additional cast members include: Rachel McAdams as Irene Adler, Kelly Reilly as Mary Morstan, Eddie Marsan as Inspector Lestrade, Hans Matheson as Lord Coward, Geraldine James as Mrs. Hudson, James Fox as Sir Thomas Blackwood, and Robert Maillet as Dredger
Some may find this portrayal of Holmes someone offensive, other will fall in love with him.
I would recommend this movie to anyone who loves a good who-done-it, and a good movie.

One Great Movie
Created: 07/04/10
My husband, son, and I went to the theatre to see this movie on two separate occassions. I had to have it when it came out in the combo pack. I love Robert Downing, Jr., always have, as a actor. I think he really becomes the character that he plays. The setting for the movie in an up and coming industrious London was a nice twist, as well, especially since that's where Mr. Holmes originated. His skill of deductive reasoning was amazing; he was a very smart character. Also Jude Law, another of my favorites, in the character of Mr. Watson was a great sidekick. The film displayed what friendship is all about as the main characters were not simply working partners, but their lives were more intertwined than by the cases they worked on or solved. The introduction of Mary as the potential bride for Watson, making Holmes the 3rd leg in their relationship was also a juicy piece of the movie. Holmes was married to his work and the only woman he truly loved was a criminal. He had no problem bringing her to justice, but it showed his (Holmes) committment to justice and truth. These are nice traits that we'd like to see in the lives of people. If we could simply commit to doing what is right and reach beyond personal gain. The movie was funny and quite entertaining. We're watching it as I write this reveiw and am able to gather some thoughts about the film. The seller of this product has been saved as a favorite. I have a huge DVD collection, probably about 350/400 movies. I love movies because I can get loss in them and see things that I'd really like to be fortunate to see in my lifetime; perhaps....My family thoroughly enjoyed this film and are looking forward to doing further business with this seller.

Sherlock Holmes
Created: 07/01/11
It's not Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce- or Jeremy Britt- but Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law give the title character and his trusty assistant a new twist of their own. I usually don't like remakes- but this one was kind of fun. A DVD worth adding to your collection !
