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.

The Blind Side: Another great movie from 2009

In a average southern town in Alabama, a homeless African American man is given the opportunity of a lifetime. He has been offered a chance to stay with a millionaire's family. Michael Ohar was given the chance because he was a classmate of one of their children and their son like him. Being raised in turbulent environment with a mother that has an unstable health condition and job. He was forced into the state's care and given to foster families, but he always returned home to his mother's house. Michael has been repeatedly called Big Mike, but he confessed that he disdains the nickname. The Blind Side shows great acting by Sandra Bullock and Quinton Aaron and it keeps me informed on every scene.



The best acting came from Sandra Bullock and Quinton Aaron because of their constant interactions and confrontations. Quinton Aaron's character is a sixteen year old African American teenager that was found by Sandra Bullock. Her character found him because Michael was from the high school and he was walking in the rain with no where to stay. The interactions between the two characters is not something anybody would do in real life. Most people would not let a homeless student stay in their home. Leigh Anne was a brave women for letting a six foot eight boy stay at her home because if that boy was intentionally insidious or evil then her house would be in danger.



Unlike Sherlock Holmes, this movie entertained me and it was readily understood. All the way til the end, I had the same questions that I had in the beginning of the Sherlock Holmes movie. This movie was different because I could easily understand the situation , problem or scene. There was no misinterpretations or questions because the actors spoke clearly and coherently. I still have a hard time listening to the British accents of the actors in Sherlock Holmes because it does not sound spontaneous.

The Blind Side has joined Avatar, Invictus, and Precious in the top ten movies of 2009.
