This years holiday smash turns out to be, well…rather elementary. I’ll award 7 stars out of 10; quirk, costumes, and music save “Sherlock Holmes”- as well as digital effects. Jude Law’s Dr. Watson is easily the most memorable character, although Robert Downey Jr.’s stock is sure to rise as a result of his quirky performance. Not being familiar with the book’s, I cannot commentate on accuracy, but the movie has piqued my interest.
The soundtrack is excellent. It kept my interest throughout the whole film. Banjo’s and broken piano’s are used to their full effect.
A second “Holmes” is already in development. I have high expectations, perhaps higher than the first, which will likely serve as another stumbling block.
