When I first saw this, I thought it was brilliant. When I next saw it, I thought it was brilliant. When I saw it at filmclub, it was AMAZING!!! This film is one in a million- clever storyline, fantastic cast, funny, sad, scary and most of all it really does WOW you! In this fabulous Victorian mystery, Holmes and Watson, both stunningly portrayed by Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr are on the case of a terrifying and mysteriously magical psychotic Lord Blackwood( Mark Strong), whose terrible crimes land him in jail, and he is hanged, and pronounced dead- or so Watson thought... The most complex and mysterious things begin to happen, and Holmes, Watson and the beautiful but terrible Irene Adler( Rachel McAdams) are set to solve the inexplicable mystery, facing near death, fights with massive Russian men, a two faced home secretary and a man that could destroy their world! The music adds a great effect, scary yet calming, and you just really MUST see it!
