This Sherlock Holmes movie was made in 2009. The most interesting thing about this movie are the characters, and the enmeshment between the character, Dr. Watson (Jude Law) who would like to see less of Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) and get married to Mary Morstan (Kelly Reilly). However Holmes uses guilt, or dependency, or something to always keep him around. This results in his almost being killed by a blast. In this movie the nemesis is Lord Blackwood (Mark Strong). Moriarty is still in the background, but a woman that intrigues Holmes, Irene Adler (Rachel McAdams) is working for him. Blackwood sets himself up as coming back from the dead, after Watson proclaims him dead. He continues to perpetrate murders to control others and gain power. His boldest move is an attack on Parliament with gas warfare. Will Holmes figure things out and get there in time. This movie has good action but as I said, more interesting characters.
