At the movies: Sherlock Holmes

Then Watson would never come. Kinda cool: Guy Ritchie masters the
brilliant detective Sherlock Holmes makes a kind of ancestor of James
Bond.
Sherlock Holmes as a boozy night owl, steeling himself half naked at
the boxing matches in dark seedy dive bars - that's one side of the
most famous detective of all time, the cinema has not been admitted.
Holmes is more marked as a gentleman.
Law is a good Jew Watson, of which there are lame versions. And

In Arthur Conan Doyle's stories for his weakness is quite hearty
brawls occasionally. Anyway Holmes for a renovation to the superhero
is very well suited, by training as a literary figure already, and
before a man with earthly superpowers: unusually educated and clever,
physically and psychologically dangerous, smarter than anyone else -
and kind of cool.
In the video: Cheeseburger, raining from the sky - that's the most
bizarre idea of ​​the new cinema week. In addition, Sherlock Holmes
suggests unusual battering by the London criminal set, "Queen" star
Helen Mirren puts out her next Oscar-worthy role, and it starts a film
that almost bursting at the seams Stars.

It requires but then, even if the bill hergibt more than what you say
spontaneously, would nevertheless some coolness to a Holmes movie as
approaching as it does Guy Ritchie - without fear. He's done an action
film, the turn of the century-version of James Bond Batman with a
touch of martial arts and small loans to Johnny Depp's magical stoned
pirates in the "Caribbean" movies. So you can say: The man has done a
lot.
The Ritchie Sherlock also begins as if the Bond series is indeed the
master plan for this film, with the dissolution of the previous case,
which then turns but as part of the new Falls storm Holmes and Watson
in a spectacular police easily accommodating a champagne campaign
meeting with human sacrifice in a London vault and save it from a
chemical befuddled brunette.
The murderous hooded man, the Holmes puts the craft into the night,
Lord Blackwood. Oh, and as Holmes puts it on his body! We see in
detail how Sherlock calculates each fist before he breaks through to
him, Holmes does not need a computer because he thinks like one, every
angle, exactly, so that it meets the proper organ. Recovery time: six
weeks.


Playing with the elements
This film was the resurrection of director Guy Ritchie, the beginning
of the nineties with "Snatch - Pigs and Diamonds" and was "Jack
Barrels" sensation, by the married - after several years in the
spectacular flop on the side of Madonna. And in part it is he
succeeded. Law is a good Jew Watson, of which there are lame versions.
And Robert Downey Jr. makes his case prima, there's a couple of
Sherlock junkie-moments and quite a bit of coolness, he plays with
confidence and irony - effortlessly. But the film may not always be
easy enough.
The plot is certainly not very clear - the other: as clear as the more
recent in a Bond film, he is already long. It's not here then at any
jewelry or vile legacy hunting, well, not right around the world
domination - is just about the hostile takeover of the British
Parliament, and Irene Adler, Holmes' love interest, sort of the party.
Lord Blackwood claims to possess supernatural powers, and Sherlock
Holmes, he does not believe a word. It begins in the truest sense of
the word elementary game - the first body is already in the soil, in
the grave where you should actually use the executed Blackwood, the
second was drowned in a bathtub, then there is a fire, and on air now
Ritchie & Company (four authors have formally written the screenplay),
but also what occurred.
What Ritchie has hinbekommen really good, this is a very credible
London in the eighteen hundred nineties, dark and dingy, splendor,
from the plaster peeling off. Holmes's premises in Baker Street, the
filthy version of the study, which is based in the Holmes Museum. If
movies are already crammed with computer-generated images, these
images should at least be something special - a byproduct of the
special effects that transform the real film more and more animated,
the possibilities of time travel.
There are in "Sherlock Holmes" is a wonderful scene at the
construction site of the Tower Bridge was completed in 1894, which
functions here as a powerful alien being from the future. But the city
in the background, which is only in a few moments, really alive.
There are a few scenes in Parliament, one of the docks, which are not
longer just the one running around in the Holmes in Marylebone
stromert, through backyards and markets crossed - it's a bit like in
"Sherlock Holmes" as likely to the place of dreams always just look
out the bus window, and never get out: The Victorian London remains a
sketch, it stays away. The figures for Holmes and Watson are also
developed around not very affectionate, they comply, only two blocks,
they are either eccentric upper-house members or violent petty
criminals.
One may expect from a filmmaker who has such a knack to occupy oblique
type and stage, like Guy Ritchie, a little more - a little more
passion for these marginal figures. And dialogues. Both have received
his early films. But then perhaps this is the whole "Sherlock Holmes":
It's quite nice to spend two hours with him - but ultimately he
awakens desires more than he satisfies.
