2009's Sherlock Holmes Directed by the famous Guy Richie is a fictional about a detective further created by Arthur Conan Doyle. The film is intriguing, but a sense of humour has been brought to give the film a more interesting twist. This effect was used well by choosing Robert Downey Jr as the main character Holmes. His skills were the ability to see things others could not, and this was the art of detection, but he also brings a lot of wit to the audience. His right hand man the intelligent Doctor Watson, played by Jude law, acts as his conscience throughout the film. The third character Irene Adler, played by the famous Rachel McAdams is your typical leading lady, and brings a romantic twist.
The film is very spectacular when it comes to the effects, and Richie as gone full out to make this film exciting and fast paced. to do this he used various shot types, such as from high to low angles, and dissolving scenes into the next.
He also effectively added the contrast from the fast breathtaking events in the outdoor setting of London, to the element of the fighting scenes, and the explosions.
This gave the film a lot of excitement, which i thoroughly enjoy in a film.
I would highly recommend a wide range of audience to watch it as it is an easy watch, and has elements that suit different age groups.
I think the characters were picked well, and the setting, costume and effects were amazing.
