Sherlock Holmes

Portrait of Sherlock Holmes by Sidney Paget
The last film that I saw in the cinema was Sherlock Holmes. I have always been passionate about Sherlock’s stories but this movie represents for me a mistaken idea of Sherlock.
The story begins at the end of the 19th century in London. Sherlock and his loyal friend Doctor Watson have to arrest Lord Blackwood, a dangerous Satanist who is threatening England.
The main characters are played by Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law. The acting is good but I think there is too much action for a Sherlock Holmes film. In my opinion it is an adventure film much more than a thriller. Sherlock was mainly a private detective not a man of action. From my point of view the film is too long and I am not sure that it will appeal to the audience because everybody has a different idea of Sherlock.
To sum up, I do not recommend people going to watch the movie because it does not represent the real Sherlock
