Sherlock Holmes Review

I recently watched Sherlock Holmes, and in my opinion, it wasn't a very good film, as i find action / adventure films undesirable. I found the film very hard to understand and it was difficult to keep up with what was going on, especially as the plot was very complicated. However, the action aspect of the film was rather interesting and kept me entertained.

The film was set in London; England with old Victorian houses, old style furniture, horse and carriage and old Victorian streets, so it is quite a back dated film, although it was released in 2009. Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr kept the viewers entertained with enthused acting and powerful scenes of fighting. Downey and Law used dry and sarcastic humour to keep the viewers entertained as well.
The music used gets your adrenaline going (non-diegetic music) in most of the fight scenes, and it is also used in the opening scene to set the film so that the viewers are not sure what’s going to happen but something is going to happen.

Overall, my opinion of the film isn't very high, but i do believe i have seen better films. It wasn't exactly boring, but then it wasn't very exciting due to my own love of romantic comedies. To be fair, the main thing that kept me watching was Jude Law.
