Sherlock Holmes: Terrible Movie

In London, Sherlock Holmes is snooping around to uncover the mysteries of a case. I have no idea what the case is about nor do I know why they are doing it. The movie gives less information and too much violence. Sherlock Holmes was a great classic for everybody, but this movie is the direct antithesis of the original story. Sherlock Holmes the movie has a far too complex plot, difficult to understand story, and terrible acting.

The movie starts off with a man trying to kill a women and Sherlock Holmes is on the case, but why. The murder case should be for the police. Why is he killing the lady? Then the movie goes on and Sherlock Holmes is living in a small apartment on Baker Street. The room was nothing like the one described in one of his Sir Conan Doyle's stories. Sherlock Holmes' attitude and behavior is also different than described in the book.

Robert Downey Jr was not a good choice of actor because he's not British, and he did not properly act out Holmes' behavior. He does not have a British accent , so he uses an American version of a British accent. His British accent sounds unnatural and not humorous. If this was a comedy, then it might be funny, however this movie is a mystery genre. Therefore, the actors have to take their accents sound authentic. That was one the reasons why they chose British born actors for the Harry Potter movies.

The story goes off the wall. The director do not specify characters on why Holmes is with them. The director does not tell us specifically the case that Holmes has to solve.

At first , I thought that the movie would be good, but I cannot judge a book by its cover. The director of Sherlock Holmes has disappointed me.
