Review


A new twist on the classic Sherlock Holmes bursts on the scene with an all-star cast. Sherlock Holmes is investigating how the "sorcerer" Lord Blackwood rose from the grave after being sentenced to death for his crimes. The chemistry between Holmes and Watson is riveting. They could banter back and forth for the whole film and I would be entertained, well not really but you get the point. Despite the fact that for some strange reason Sherlock Holmes has become an action superstar, I do love that his wit and charisma is on point!

Favorite Quote
Sherlock Holmes: You've never complained about my methods before.
Dr. John Watson: I'm not complaining. How am I complaining? When have I ever complained about you practicing the violin at three in the morning, or your mess, your general lack of hygiene, or the fact that you steal my clothes?
