New Sherlock Holmes movie reverts to original text's characters' characteristics


Readers of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's fictional character, the brilliant London-based detective, in the more than 50 short stories and 4 novels will delight in the new film version which shows both Holmes and his friend, Watson, as Doyle portrayed them - that of companions and intellectual equals - not the bumbling Watson and the snide Holmes most movie watchers are familiar with from the characters of the films from the 1940's. The new movie starring Robert Downing, Jr. and Jude Law manages to evoke a feeling of smart and witty fun while the "detecting" ensues in a fast-paced action.
Getting good reviews all around.
