Sherlock Holmes
« on: February 01, 2010, 09:33:38 pm »
The best film Guy Richie has directed in years.  Action packed, great character placement, a great night out at the flicks when the sound is loud enough to drown out the hordes of popcorn munching chavs.

From the trailers I get the impression that there is no real protagonist in this... everybody just seems to be comical sideshows. And also, Holmes and martial arts? Not really how I pictured it.

Will have a look anyways.

It's a good movie, has some fun scenes and okay twists here and there. The acting is great and all. Its worth a watch.

That's part of the mystery.  Martial Arts?  Nope, just the simply application of logic to a fighting style, elementary..

Naff = sux?

I enjoyed it, especially the first half. 2nd one got a bit 08/15, like the slaughterhouse scene that looked stolen from Saw.

Btw Sherlock.Holmes.DVDSCREENER.XviD-MENTiON and the likes are actually ~DVD-Rip quality this time.

The best film Guy Richie has directed in years. 


# Sherlock Holmes (2009)
# RocknRolla (2008)
# Suspect (2007) (TV)
# Revolver (2005/I)
# Swept Away (2002)
... aka Travolti dal destino (Italy)
# Star (2001/I)
... aka The Hire: Star (USA: series title)
# Snatch. (2000)

Swept Away was shite, I agree, but all the others I loved, so I disagree with your point :|

Snatch is awesome.

Thought this was a quite bad and predictable movie.
5/10

I think I just expected more from Law and Downey Jr -- they're both great, but felt a little bit weak in some kind of... semi-serious action film.

The whole 'wireless' thing at the end... urgh.

Dunno. I was expecting more thriller/mystery than action, that's all.

Naff = cheesy/crap/flat.

Must agree with dell on this one, I was quite disappointed.

It wasn't as good as snatch but still was enjoyable, for me atleast.
