Every day, AlloCiné recommends watching a movie (again) on TV. Tonight: Robert Downey Jr. as detective Sherlock Holmes.
In 2007, producers Joel Silver and Susan Downey bought the rights to Lionel Wigram’s Sherlock Holmes comic, featuring characters created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, which, moreover, was never published. They entrust the production of its adaptation to the British Guy Ritchie, who thus abandons his beloved gangster theme for his first foray into the blockbuster. It directs Robert Downey Jr. and the respective interpreters of Jude Law, Sherlock Holmes, and Dr. Watson, whose dynamic evokes the Friends movies.
The filmmaker manages to preserve the essence of the famous detective (his bohemian appeal and passion for martial arts are really close to Conan Doyle’s original texts, as opposed to the gentlemanly image with which he is often associated). Dust removal with supercharged setup. Guy Ritchie relies on words (and Robert Downey Jr.’s automaton flow) as much as images, with plenty of flashes that allow us to see a scene from a different angle or look into the future. closing. Also, the chemistry between the two lead actors works perfectly.
Released in 2009, Sherlock Holmes grossed $524 million worldwide and won Robert Downey Jr. a Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Comedy. This success led to a sequel three years later, titled Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.
