Sherlock Holmes (2009) - A Guy Ritchie version (+70) - Movie review

This is a English language movie, released in 2010 in India, Directed by Guy Ritchie, starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law in leading roles. 

This review is strictly my point of view and many may not agree with me, I being a Guy Ritchie fan, I do admire most of the things he brings on screen, so keep that in your mind before my recommendation. 

This version of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's characters, where the bromance of Doctor and Holmes continues with a stylish narration of Guy Ritchie. Guy Ritchie's narrative style is not for everyone, it contains a bit more of action and fantasy substances that will not be accepted openly by everyone. 

People may feel that the action sequences are opposite of what the authentic characters possess, but what I felt is in this version Guy Ritchie tried to create the action sequences in such a way that it was mentally calculated and not just physical capacity of Sherlock Holmes. 

The editing, camera, and the technical team of Guy Ritchie done a much-appreciated job that you will cherish the visuals, and a very supportive music by Hans Zimmer makes the experience much better. 

And of course, you will enjoy Robert Downey Jr.'s charisma and also the chemistry between himself and Jude Law. 

I rate this a 70%. 

WATCH IT for a stylish version of Sherlock Holmes, especially if you like Guy Ritchie narration. SKIP IT if you have read all the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes books and expect justice to be done to these characters. 

Its available to stream on Netflix, Disney Hotstar and HOOQ (As on April, 2020) with English subtitles.
