I blatantly stole this title from a message board I frequent. And how I waited nearly thirty days before checking out this flick, is beyond me. Downey has quickly become a favorite actor of mine and I'm only basing that on the last cool movies hes done. Downey has got the portrayal of the man with a brilliant mind but flawed with his own demons be it booze, women, or being a work-a-holic, which were both kind of touched upon in Holmes and Iron Man, oddly enough.
Before I go on, let me discuss Guy Ritchie. I've been a big fan of his movies since, Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch. I wasn't such a big fan of RocknRolla
it wasn't the caper comedy I had grown accustomed too.
it wasn't the caper comedy I had grown accustomed too.But Holmes was similar to "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" in featuring a complex and inventive storyline in which the characters weave in and out of each others' lives, the film also plays with time, depicting events from various perspectives. I had never known of any Sherlock Holmes portrayal before that featured excessive drinking, pit-fighting, or womanizing. Also never has Holmes kicked so much ass! Certainly if you are a fan of the previous movies I mentioned, you'll enjoy Holmes. I enjoyed it immensely and there is already talk of a sequel. I wonder who will play Dr. Moriarty?
