Sherlock Holmes
I had read the negative reviews prior to seeing the movie, and expectations were low, but I was impressed. I have read all of Arthur Conan Doyles Holmes stories at least twice, and have watched many of the tv shows and movies. This, however, was something else altogether, and I thought it brought Doyles Sherlock to life perfectly. Some reviewers complained about the choppy fight scenes. I had the opposite reaction; what better way to highlight the first master detectives logical mind and deductive reasoning than with C.S.I. like segmenting of action sequences? I thought it was a great way to illustrate Holmes thinking while still keeping the action moving quickly.
Very well done. Looking forward to the sequels!
