Nothing can escape this man. He is not a mentalist. He is not a mind freak. He is none other than Sherlock Holmes, a cunning, witty, ingenious, charming and yet twisted and eccentric crime detective.Sherlock and his sidekick, Dr Watson, begin their adventure of with the capture of Lord Blackwood, a black magic practitioner. The successful trial of Lord Blackwood is just a gambit for his more devious plan to take over the British empire and perhaps even the world.
Lord Blackwood is sentenced to hang but returns resurrected after 3 days. It creates a sensational fear and chaos amongst the common men. Is he more than meet the eyes or just a clever concoction of black magic, mystic and fear? I shall not reveal anymore but allow you to indulge in the adventurous journey with Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson.
I love the scenes where Sherlock analyses the situation and immediately creates a solution to counteract and solve the problem on hand. He is also quite a dork by trying to be suave when he can hardly remains calm in the presence of his love interest and adversary, Irene Adler.
Rating: 5 out of 5 fairy clouds. Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law have the perfect chemistry and on-screen partnership as Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson. You get a run for your money watching 2 hunks on the big screen exuding the charm of an English Gentleman while fighting valiantly against the most vicious criminal. You simply can't get enough of these two men.
