folks, the greatest detective world has ever known - sherlock holmes, a character that has scaled our imaginations all these years comes to the screen now. the expectations are high. and the movie deals with them thoroughly. i wont say its the best effort for the holmes character but it doesnt let it down either. robert downey has played the character pretty well. jude law is in his usual flamboyance too. dark treatment imparted by guy ritchie to this movie in order to boost the voodoo element as well as the old england era is appreciable. on top of that, the musical score is by hans zimmer - the person responsible for outstanding pieces in gladiator, pirates of the carribbean, black hawk down. i think, the main area where the movie scores is its pace. there is not a single lull spell providing the audience a lot to think over and imagine.
whether it be the fast camera movement of the chases or the slow motion during fights and explosions, its sits pretty comfortably on the viewer's eye.
the movie will have a sequel as the story is left wide open. this being a nice piece of art, my hopes are much higher for sherlock holmes - 2.
