Sherlock Holmes (2009), starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, is a film that was directed by Guy Rithchie. It's an action movie that follows the most famous detective of all time, Sherlock Holmes, and his friend, John Watson, through the investigation of a series of crimes that are commited in the city of London. With hints of humour and an interesting plot, you will see as Arthur Conan Doyle's most famous hero makes a jump to the big screen with a great result.
Sherlock Holmes has just closed his latest case, with the help of Dr. Watson, his friend and flatmate. Blackwood, the criminal, is now in prison and about to be executed. Even though the fatality of this man's crimes seems over, strange things begin to happen after he apparently comes back from the grave, to start a dangerous game that seems to be mixed with dark magic. Sherlock Holmes will have to use all his skills to get pass the occultism and resolve the case before it's too late. Also, with the sudden appearance of Irene Adler, the woman he loved, the shadow of a new danger will cast over the detective's brilliant mind.

Personally, I really enjoyed this film, mainly because I love the way Sherlock Holmes' mind works when it comes to giving an answer to everything from the tiniest details that no one else would notice. His wit combined with Dr. Watson's aim to keep his friend sane and alive is what really lights up this movie. In addition, it keeps you wondering how Blackwood's actions develop, because it all seems like a timed bomb, "impossible to resolve" with all those sectarian symbols. On the other hand, I loved the soundtrack by Hans Zimmer. I think it's brilliant and it definetly finishes up the movie for me. Furthermore, Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law are great in these roles and I don't think that anyone would've done it better in this movie.
How will he solve this riddle?
I can't think of one thing I didn't like about this movie. It's not a masterpiece, that much I can say, but it really is a great movie that has lots of nice details.
As a conclusion, I can say that I really think that this is a movie anyone can enjoy. If you love action movies and playing a guessing game to resolve a crime with the greatest detective of all time, then watch this film. All I can say is that the second movie was good too so that is a good sign.
