The Sherlock Mystery: The Movies And Shows VS The Original Stories

Sherlock Holmes The Modern Movie

Robert Downey Jr., the well-known and loved actor, plays Sherlock Holmes in the modern 2009 adaptation of the character, with Jude Law as Dr. John Watson. The movie depends on a classic battle of wits with a nemesis who has a plot to destroy all of England.

The movie was mostly liked and well-received by critics and audiences both, and Robert Downey Jr. won a Golden Globe for best actor in a comedy or drama movie. The sequel, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, was released in 2011 and although not a massive hit did fairly well in the box office. This was less critically acclaimed than the original.
