The film Sherlock Holmes, directed by Guy Ritchie and released in December 2009, is about the detective Sherlock Holmes and his partner Watson’s battle to save England from Lord Blackwood. It’s set in 1981 and is shown through the old-fashioned costume, set and props. As well as the lighting and storyline in itself.
The film stars some very well known actors such as Robert Downie Jr, Rachel McAdams and Jude Law giving the film very high standards.
Guy Ritchie is a well-known director, and one of my personal favourites. He is known for making many great films such as: RocknRolla, Snatch and Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels.
The film grossed £3,081,072 in its opening weekend in the UK and $62,304,277 in the USA.
Sherlock Holmes falls into the genres of Mystery and Action as well as having a side of romance and some thriller aspects.
I think that this film attracts various audiences ranging from male to female, young to old. This is because of its various genres, gripping storyline and its use of comedy mixed in with action. I think people within my age group (16-17) would enjoy the film, as it is clever, entertaining, gripping and funny. I think older generations will enjoy this as well as it is a remake of the old Sherlock Holmes series and the film is a mind teaser, as well as its use of comedy that maybe only older adults may understand.
In my opinion the film was excellent and very well shot. The use of camera angles, shots and lighting kept me interested throughout the whole thing as well as the gripping storyline.
I think the ending was very entertaining and tense and was definitely built up for a sequel. I would like to go and watch the sequel, as I would be interested to know more about the relationship between Sherlock and Irene and also what other mysteries he can solve.
The one scene I loved the most was the fight scene where Holmes thinks about what he is going to do to the man and explains it and what will happen after right before he does it, this is the scene I remember most as I found it very clever and well shot as well as entertaining to watch his thoughts pan out how he planned.
