I honestly thought that I had already written a review on this movie...
I mean, it's one of my favorites!!
And I got to see the second one this last Sunday...and I wanted to write a review on it RIGHT AWAY...but then I realized that I hadn't done the first one, so...
here it is ;)
Oh, but before I begin...
I would like to say just one thing.
Writing movie reviews on mysteries is very hard to do well. :P Because I *want* to give my opinion, but if I do, it may spoil the movie for you.
So, I hope this review is satisfying...yet intriguing. And makes you want to go watch it - if you haven't already! ;)

Robert Downey Jr. as...
Sherlock Holmes
Robert Downey is such an amazing actor!! Seriously.
Except (according to a friend of mine) he isn't tall enough. :P haha
He and Jude Law worked together splendidly!!
They keep his tactics and piecing-together-of-information SO like in the books!!
He finds a clue in a place that you could've been staring at for 10 whole minutes!

Jude Law as...
Dr. Watson rocks :) I love this guy!!
Pretty intense part here ^
---
---
Rachel McAdams as...
Irene Adler
Saying too much about this girl would give away a bit of the movie, so...
I'll say that she's a good actress.
But I don't necessarily like her.
Does that make sense?
Does that make sense?
I will say that there is an inappropriate scene with these two ^...
so if you watch it, just be sure to remember that I warned ya :)

Mark Strong as...
Dr. Blackwood
Oooh!! This guy is creepy!! (Dr. Blackwood, that is)
I must say that he plays his part very well, though.
I'll just leave it at that. :P
---
Kelly Reilly as...
Mary Morstan
fabulous coat, eh? ^
I.love.Mary!!
She is just the sweetest!!
She has some super fun outfits in this movie too!
She and Watson are just adorable together ;) ::squeals::
She is very supportive of him...well, in some instances. ;)
She's always worrying about his safety...but is willing to take risks herself.
And I was so happy that she was in the second movie too! :)
Oh! And if you think she looks familiar, it's probably because you saw her in the 2005 Pride and Prejudice. She plays Caroline Bingley.
---
There are a lot of super cool fight scenes!!!
I know, I'm a girl and I like seeing guys get beat up...?? What's up with that? ;)
There is also this amazing affect that they do (not sure if you'd consider this a spoiler or not, so...it's up to you)
where they film - in slow motion - what Holmes is thinking of doing to a guy. And he'll narrarate at the same time. Not sure if that makes sense, but...for those who HAVE seen this movie, you'll know what I mean. ;)
Also, as a warning...if you don't like 'magic', you won't really like this movie.
So, to wrap it up...
if you like a-bit-scary, intense, with some magic, amazing deductive skills with a flair of romance mystery movie...
you'll love Sherlock Holmes (2009).
I thought this ^ was such a cool picture!! I just had to include it :)

So go watch it ;)

7 of your thoughts:
Nice review! I love that movie as well. :)
About the magic though, I wouldn't say that it has magic, just...things that look like magic. ;)
I heart this movie :)
that's all i can say :)
you covered the rest of it :)
This is seriously one of my favorite movies... your post popped up on my dashboard and I smiled :) My sis and I saw it on opening day, might go see it this weekend too. Downey Jr does justice to Holmes, though I agree with your friend, he's much too short! And I won't start on how awesome Watson is.. then this comment would be ridiculously long.
I LOVE this movie sooo much!!! Robert Downey Jr. Is such an amazing actor!!! Him and Jude Law are great together! And the second one (i went to see it at midnight lol) was AMAZING!!!!!! I want to go see it again!
My two older bros and I are planning on going to A Game of Shadows on Christmas. I am SOOOOO excited!! I LOOOOOVEEEEED number 1. Can't wait!
I thought it was a good movie! I like the actors and thought it was put together really well. :)
Love this movie - I just saw the sequel the other day too. Hopefully next week I'll get my review posted. I've not decided which one I like better... or if I liked them equally well.
Merry Christmas, Raquel. =)
