A New & Interesting Take
PostedJanuary 3, 2010
Swampfox
from Washington, DC
Although nontraditional, the portrayal of Holmes and Watson in this movie is largely consistent with the original novels and stories, and sheds a really interesting and entertaining light on the men and their relationship. The character of the relationship between Holmes and Irene Adler ("The Woman," as he called her) is a contemporary twist, but not uninteresting. The introduction of a mystic society in the latter half of the film seems a little goofy, but is made somewhat more plausible in the denoument. Generally excellent performances, and good atmospherics, particularly the rather seedy feel of Victorian London.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
