Sherlock Holmes

Sherlock Holmes, It's Elementary Watson...and Great!

By Craig Peters on December 27, 2009

 
Sherlock Holmes is back! Robert Downey Jr. does an excellent job of capturing the brilliance, sparkling wit and incredible arrogance of literature’s greatest detective. However, Downey also adds incredible physicality and a sense of the torment to this most excellent man of science by capturing both the overweening persona and the sense of isolation that Holmes must feel. He also captures the sympathy evoked by the characterization. Holmes is truly a heroic, if tragic, figure in this latest iteration of Holmes just as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle must have imagined him.

It's Elementary: New Sherlock Holmes Trailer

By Craig Peters on November 20, 2009
Robert Downey Jr, Jude Law and Rachel McAdams are about to provide a whole new take on the Sherlock Holmes legend. In past film versions the Holmes story has always been given the cerebral treatment, however, in the original novels by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Holmes was in fact written as being as physically capable as he is mentally acute. Director Guy Ritchie looks to pay homage to that fact in this latest, action-packed version. The trailer looks great. I'll definitely be there on December 25, 2009. READ MORE

Snatch star Brad Pitt is also rumored to be taking the lead bad guy role of Moriarty in the Holmes sequel.
