22B Baker Street



Last weekend i brought my Twins to watch the movie,"Sherlock Holmes".
I did read earlier its preview that it is a fast paced action packed detective thriller possibly to meet the needs of the general movie goers palate..and not adhering to the original philosophy of a great Conan Doyle book on this pipe smoking detective.
The cast seemed to offer a great movie with Robert Downey Jr and Judd Law as the movie's main lead.
Honestly enduring the 2 hours in the cinema it was a real let down(to me anyway!!).
It is too one dimensional in its portrayal, i cant even visualise the fact that Downey fits the bill as that great detective....the only saving grace is the grim realistic image of London in those days which makes the movie a bit more authentic as the minutes ticked away, just cant wait for it to end.
I am though now trying to find time to watch "Avatar", possibly am looking forward to see "blue people" as Blue is my favourite colour , you never know i may enjoy that movie much more than that dismal Downey portrayal of Holmes.
Please , please don't have any sequel as they suggest with Professor Moriarty Sherlock Holmes arch enemy still lurking !!
