Yup! This post is about Sherlock Holmes, the movie. The above poster was a special one which I found on the web, and the way Robert Downey Jr. a.k.a Sherlock Holmes is shrouded in the shadows was so mysterious~!
Summary:
The movie starts with the successful capture of Lord Blackwood, whom had been around London as a notorious serial killer. After Lord Blackwood had been sentenced to death and buried, however, he seemed to have been resurrected and had come back from death. Sherlock Holmes and his ever trustworthy friend, Dr. Watson, has to go on pursuit searching for clues regarding this incident. The appearance of Irene Adler, love interest and sort of rival of Sherlock Holmes sets the whole event into a deeper mystery. As Holmes and Watson struggle against time to figure out the whole event, the detectives must try and figure out the truth which lies tangled in a web of deceit, fear, black magic and murder itself.

My Thoughts:
I am half tempted to only write two sentences,
The first= Kyaa~!!
The second=OMFG~! This is sooooooo... freaking amazing~!!!
Yes, that will suffice.
But still, seeing that I'm willing to elaborate, here goes.
I watched the movie about 4 times already I think. Twice at the cinemas. And I must say I still haven't gotten bored of it. Sure, hardcore book fans will frown and scowl at the portrayal of Holmes and Watson in the movie, but I absolutely loved it.
The Sherlock Holmes in the movie is quirky, eccentric, still enigmatic and brilliant, but could carry a few heavy punches of his own. He is also quite adorable at times. Dr. Watson is also slightly altered, and the relationship between both of them is humourous in their constant bickering and Watson's disgruntlement and Holmes meddling.
This new perspective is indeed refreshing and delightful. And the story itself is carried out with the precise and suitable pace in which every moment is exciting and eventful, it keeps you hooked on for the entire show.
And of course the interaction and chemistry between Holmes and Adler is fun to watch, with so much teasing around. Of course, the lines between the characters is also amusing and fun to take note of.
Another thing I really like is the slow motion scene which they show how Holmes' mind works, and then you watch it in real action afterwards. It further shows and capture the brilliance of Holmes mind.
Oh, and another thing to mention, the sound score, which is composed by Hans Zimmer, is an absolute gem, and worth a listen to~!
So, a definite must watch again!! (But maybe I'm just biased but I just LOVE Sherlock Holmes, both book and movie SOOOO much! >_<)
