![]() In addition, the film’s visual aspect is very much “on-line” with Ritchie’s taste depicting a Victorian-era London in a very real way of dirt and grime. Thus, Ritchie reimaging of Sherlock Holmes keeps one foot in the past, but one foot in a new direction a result that definitely works to the film’s overall likeability and in cinematic storytelling of humor and danger. That’s not to say the movie isn’t deeply rooted in Sherlock mythos, with Ritchie (as well as the screenplay writers) respectfully keep the tone and mystery of super sleuthing very much intact of Doyle’s original design behind the character. In truth, even though the film’s setting feels appropriate the same as what Doyle envisioned the character to be in (a Victorian era), Ritchie’s reimagines the character for a more modern audience and certainly proves that. Rather than making the film to be solely based on “clue finding”, Ritchie interjects plenty of “action” bits throughout the narrative puncturing what could’ve been a rather “mundane” journey by using excitement and thrills elevate the story. ![]() Suffice to say, Ritchie brings his unique style to Sherlock Holmes utilizing a sort of “cheekiness” to the proceedings something that’s befitting towards the famed detective of Baker Street.

So, let’s take a “cinematic flashback” of Sherlock Holmes and the movie that Guy Ritchie made.īased on the literary figure that was created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes is directed by Guy Ritchie, who previously directed Snatch and Lock, Stock, and Two Barrels and would eventually create the spy TV show remake of The Man from U.N.C.L.E (as a feature film) in 2015 as well as Disney’s live-action remake of Aladdin in 2019. I did see the movie when it originally came up (I think a few weeks after it was released) and I remembered that I liked it finding the “updated” version of Sherlock Holmes a fun / enjoyable take on the classic literary character. So, I decided to watch both of them to pass the time and then decided to do a “cinematic flashback” on both of them…. While sorting through this plethora DVDs and Blu-Ray, I came across Guy Ritchie’s two Sherlock Holmes movies two feature films that I haven’t seeing in quite a while. So, I decided to clean up my movie collection finding some movies I wanted to get rid of (only seeing once and not to my liking) and some that I wanted to revisit (even loaded a few “hidden gems” on my VUDU account). With the COVID-19 pandemic continuing, I’ve had a lot of time to clean up various place throughout my house. ![]() Has the dark lord, indeed, returned from the dead?
