Sherlock Holmes

First theater review.....Enjoy. :)

I went and saw this movie on opening day, Jewish Movie Day. I definitely enjoyed the movie!! While waiting in line with my fellow moviegoers, I learned Sherlock Holmes' character is one of the most famously portrayed in movies. He has been portrayed over 70 different ways by 200 different actors. I have personally only seen about three or four of these, but Robert Downey Jr was my favorite.

It was not a long movie and kept me entertained the entire time. It was worth the matinee price I paid. I laughed, I jumped a few times and I even didn't mind watching Downey's well exercised naked torso dancing around the screen.

I would not purchase the dvd the day it came out. But if there was a second movie or sequel, and I enjoyed that one, I would buy it.

Not only would I recommend this movie to friends, it motivated me to start this blog! Yes this movie is "another remake" of an old classic, but well done. The movie didn't need to rely on explosions or CGI, it was clever writing and a good story that sold me. It had some good comedy and even made my 86 year old grandpa laugh out loud a few times.

So, I say.....go see it in the theaters. And maybe, I'll see you at the concession stand.
