Pure Action Movies

Sherlock Holmes starring Robert Downey and Jude is n ot your typical Holmes adventure. The director Guy Ritchie has created something that a lot of purists will hate and people not familiar with the books will enjoy. I am a huge fan of the books and the old Basil Rathbone movies and Jeremy Brett tv series so I consider myself a purist at heart. That being said I did enjoy the movie and the leads do a good job and there is good interaction between them and the story is well paced.

The story is pure boys own adventure set in a fictional London which is well realised with good production values, the Tower of London is one that stands out. My only gripe is that the movie is just a bit too long could shave at leasat 15 minutes but its just a minor quibble. If your looking for Adventure, Romance, Comedy, Drama and Martial Arts this is a great popcorn movie and you will not be bored.
