Sherlock Holmes (2009)

Oh, but before I begin…
I would like to say just one thing.

Writing movie reviews on mysteries is very hard to do well.   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 is such an amazing actor!!  Seriously.
 

He totally fit the part.
Except (according to a friend of mine) he isn’t tall enough. haha

—

 Dr. John Watson

Again, a perfect choice of actor to play the doctor.

 —

Does that make sense?

—

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.

—

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
