katikat | Sherlock Holmes

I re-watched Sherlock Holmes tonight...

I still adore the banter between Holmes and Watson (Robert Downey Jr. & Jude Law are a hoot together!) and I still don't care much about Irene Adler (oh, I don't have this deep-seated hatred for her like some people, I just don't consider her a compelling character). I very much prefer Mary who seems like a strong woman in her quiet, dignified manner (she protected what she wanted yet she didn't blame Holmes for Watson's injury and she enjoyed his... peculiarities). You know, after re-watching the movie, I think I actually see why there are quite a few Holmes/Watson/Mary fics, hm...

Another thing I loved about the movie was the cinematography and the music. Very, very well done. Especially the music, it just clicked and made all the scenes stand out. Wonderful, truly wonderful. And the way the ending credits were done was amazing, very imaginative...

I've planned re-watching the film for quite some time now. I wonder why I haven't done it till now... Fabulous.
