I Saw Sherlock Holmes!

We actually went about a month ago, (shows how good I am at this blogging thing, huh?) but I still wanted to tell you what I thought about it.

I loved it!

Let me first start by clairifying something. A few people I know wouldn't watch it because it seems to be dealing with black magic. And, honestly, if I didn't know something about Sherlock Holmes, I would have felt that way and not watched it either. But, I do know about Sherlock Holmes. You see, the beginning of the movie is dark. It looks like a Satanic ritual is going on, and then in another scene it looks like the guard is possessed.

However, I had read Sherlock Holmes stories when I was younger and knew that there was generally an explaination behind everything. And, I was right! I won't spoil it for you by telling you what the explainations were, but suffice it to say, it's all scientific in the end.

The movie not only has this mystery for Sherlock to unravel, it has suspense, and intrege and humor and lots of action. Holmes and Watson get themselves into all kinds of situations that would bump their life insurance rates up!

Sherlock Holmes is rated PG-13 and I do believe that under 13 is really too young. Not only would the story-line be too hard for them to follow, those dark scenes might give them nightmares for weeks to come.

However, if your old enough to understand (and like) Sherlock Holmes stories and/or a lover of Robert Downey, Jr. (my girlfriends think he's hot... I don't get it!) I think this is one movie you won't mind spending a few dollars on!
