Sherlock Holmes, the 2009 film

Greetings, the latest Sherlock Holmes film starring Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law was released to the cinemas in 2009. The plot was a little hard to follow at times, occasionally because I found it hard to make out Jr's English accent which was good but at times difficult to understand. At the end it is explained so all the loose ends are tied and leaving the viewer content. Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson had put away a retired lord called Lord Blackwood, who has been kidnapping innocent women and claims to have been using magic on them. On the day of his execution Blackwood states that his death was only the beginning, he is hanged and Dr Watson checks that he is deceased. When the body is buried, reports come to Holmes about Blackwood walking out of the graveyard, Sherlock and Dr Watson are sent to find out how this is possible. The special effects are good but it isn't used that much in it, Sherlock fans probably would like this film but I can't say I'm a die hard fan of the Sherlock Holmes mysteries so I wouldn't really know if the film displays him as he is described in the books. Even if you don't know much about Holmes it is still a cool film to view. The eighth chapter of the War for Humankind is up in Warehouse 17.
