If you like Iron Man, Sahara, National Treasure; then go see this movie. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s most famous detective character gets a nitro injection. The new Sherlock Holmes shatters any ideas of a prissy English dude with weakling doctor sidekick. Robert Downey Jr.’s Holmes continues his comeback campaign as Sherlock Holmes, the believable as a mix of CSI investigator with a full size serving of Jason Bourne. Jude Law pumps up Dr. Watson with a mix of magnifying glasses and brass knuckles.
Guy Ritchie is a hit or miss director. “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels” and “Snatch” are great for repeat watching, but he has some misses too. Don’t expect raw grittiness, except in the rough and realistic looking 1830’s London environment. But do expect a fun, family friendly adventure. I fully expect to pick up this blu-ray on the Tuesday that it starts selling. Until then, I might go back for another serving of Holmes on roids.
