A good movie

Following his come-back thanks to 'Iron Man', Robert Downey Jr followed up with another high-profile gig, a modern version of one of the oldest characters, Sherlock Holmes. I always had a weak spot for Guy Ritchie's work, even though he hasn't done anything amazing since 'Snatch'. Anyway, coming back to our main feature, I thought it was pretty good. Indeed, this movie looked really good and the action scenes worked pretty well without overshadowing the rest of the movie. Of course, the best was the casting. Indeed, Downey Jr was awesome and totally rocked this performance and Jude Law was a good choice for Watson. However, to be honest, the whole thing it was still nothing mind-blowing though. I mean, it was fairly entertaining and I enjoyed how they rationally explained everything at the end like a good old Holmes tale but, honestly, it was not a really strong story. Basically, they were way too busy making sure the whole thing looked badass, that Robert Downey Jr sounded cool when they should have spent more time on a strong and spellbinding story. It was the same issue with the dialogues, some of them were entertaining, but some other were way too convoluted and I understand that they wanted to make it sound clever but it didn’t always work. Anyway, to conclude, it was still a well made and entertaining blockbuster and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
