After finally catching serial killer and occult "sorcerer" Lord Blackwood, legendary sleuth Sherlock Holmes and his assistant Dr. Watson can close yet another successful case. But when Blackwood mysteriously returns from the grave and resumes his killing spree, Holmes must take up the hunt once again. Contending with his partner's new fiancée and the dimwitted head of Scotland Yard, the dauntless detective must unravel the clues that will lead him into a twisted web of murder, deceit, and black magic - and the deadly embrace of temptress Irene Adler.
I don't know why but I wasn't expecting such a series drama. I think I have been previously spoilt from previous editions of Sherlock Holmes. However the overall story was good, and I got quite into this film. I rather enjoyed it and was surprised as I am not a huge fan of Guy Ritchie films. This was good fun to watch, rather gripping. I also rather liked the filming style and the mixture of the feeling old in the film with some very modern twists (helped by very clever camera work). Great little drama, and definitely worth watching.
