In a dynamic new portrayal of Arthur Conan Doyle's most famous characters, "Sherlock Holmes" sends Holmes and his stalwart partner, Dr. Watson on their latest challenge. The only woman ever to have bested Holmes, Irene Adler again sparks her tempestuous relationship with the detective, while a mysterious new nemesis -Blackwood- constructs a deadly plot that could destroy the country. Revealing fighting skills as lethal as his legendary intellect, Holmes will battle as never before to bring down Blackwood and unravel his plan.
"Guy Ritchie's style doesn't seem like an appropriate choice to direct a cinematic adventure of the classic Arthur Conan Doyle character, but for times of modernization and reinterpretation of canons, it works very well. This version of 'Sherlock Holmes' is, it must be said, more spectacular than cerebral, which may sound antithetical to the character, but works as a fun introduction to his universe, more in the style of an action-packed adventure than a suspense movie. The highlight is the performances, with a phenomenal Robert Downey Jr. accompanied by a solid cast that includes Jude Law, Rachel McAdams and Mark Strong."
