Sherlock Holmes (2009)

Tagline: Nothing escapes him

Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, Rachel McAdams, Mark Strong

Summary: When occult serial killer and “sorcerer” Lord Blackwood (Mark Strong) rises from the dead after Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) closed his case, Holmes and his assistant Watson (Jude Law) must unravel the mysteries of lies, deceit, and black magic whilst evading the seduction of Irene Adler (Rachel McAdams)

5 Words/Phrases: Fantastic cast; great setting and costumes; excellent dry humor throughout the movie; good pacing; very good use of Holmes’ cleverness rather than overdone special effects

Most Impressed By: How Holmes detailed each and every action throughout the case as he solved the mystery

Least Impressed By: …nothing!

Comments: Brilliantly done, there was never a dull moment

Overall Rating: 10/10
