Movie review
Shelock Holmes' character has long been seen as stuffy and dry, and director Guy Ritchie presented a new reimagined Sherlock Holmes. In the film, Richie put a touch of cunning and toughness to Holmes (played by Robert Downey Jr.) and a distinguished charm to Dr. Watson (played by Jude Law). Unlike the previous Sherlock Holmes movies, this one is more violent and action-packed.
The 2009 Sherlock Holmes film casts a new light to the characters. well, it's up for the viewers to decide which reimagining of Holmes they like best.
