British director Guy Ritchie has been assigned to make Sherlock Holmes hip and fashionable. The only thing that remains from the classic Arthur Conan Doyle's novels are the names, everything else has been thrown out of the windows. It's not that film is bad, it's just that it wants represents something it isn't except for the name. In this version Holmes has to solve the case of Lord Henry Blackwood who reappears after being executed in front of Holmes and his partner Dr. Watson. Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law provide sex appeal and hipness to the classic characters while the beautiful Rachel McAdams and Kelly Reilly appear as their love interests. Mark Strong and Eddie Marson provide solid support along with the top notch crew. It's too bad they couldn't come up with an original idea with all the talent except to bastardize a classic.
