THE GAME IS AFOOT || SHERLOCK HOLMES || FIRST TIME WATCHING || Movie Reaction
When a string of brutal murders terrorizes London, it doesn't take long for legendary detective Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) and his crime-solving partner, Dr. Watson (Jude Law), to find the killer, Lord Blackwood (Mark Strong). A devotee of the dark arts, Blackwood has a bigger scheme in mind, and his execution plays right into his plans. The game is afoot when Blackwood seems to rise from the grave, plunging Holmes and Watson into the world of the occult and strange technologies.
Sherlock Holmes (2009) starring Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law and Mark Strong

Watch the sequel!
The Robert Downey Jr Sherlock Holmes movies were very well received, but the timing was really bad because the Iron Man movies were far more successful. It sucks for fans of the Sherlock Holmes movies, but financially makes sense for Downey to go with Iron Man instead of Holmes. At least we got a second Holmes movie out of it before he went full time with Iron Man.

Also: this came out in 2009, and the BBC Sherlock-series launched a year later (with Cumberbatch). Now, I generally enjoy Ritchie’s work, but to me this one falls in the same category as his King Arthur-movie. Oh, and you know Lord Blackwood from Ritchie’s RocknRolla (as Archie, with the ‘famous Archie slap’).
Great movie. We had to watch this in English class here in the uk. It was to observe the writing and how sherlock thinks. Very interesting stuff.

About the fighting, I'm pretty sure the original Sherlock Holmes was written as a champion boxer in college so this movie just updates that original idea.

Downey is a Wing Chun martial artist, and he had a huge influence on the choreography for the fights. As a practitioner myself I can see the style plain as day, the vertical fist straight punch and pretty much every hand position. It's a very street/self defense style that's close to boxing, but dirtier with no rules or restriction as it's not a sport. Perfect for Sherlock.
To me Jeremy Brett will always be the best Sherlock Holmes. He starred in a British-made TV show, "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" (produced by Granada Television) from 1984-1994. Although, in those 10 years there were only 41 episodes total. You can find many of them for free on KZread, or you can stream them. He was the epitome of Holmes IMO.

I actually forgot about that one! Good call.
Finally, this movie is getting the attention it deserves, it is a billion-dollar franchise already but so many people are just too dumb to understand the excellence of 2nd movie. They think gay Moriarty is better than Jarred Harris moriarty.
Benedict plays a great Sherlock but RDJ and Guy Ritchie took the character to a whole different level.
This ones a lot of fun. The sequel is not as good though the final confrontation is incredible.

Great movies. Love the music. Cheers, C 😎👍
A rollicking yarn told with inimitable flair by Guy Ritchie, be sure to follow up with the sequel!
Another great Guy Ritchie movie, Wrath of Man. 😀
Best Sherlock Holmes. RDJ kills it.
I keep praying for them to turn this into a trilogy. There was supposed to be a third one, but it got stuck in development hell or something. I don't think it's happening. Both of these Sherlock movies are like comfort movies for me, I can and have watched them multiple times.
Great version of Sherlock. The sequel is really good. I would say Benedict and RDJ are the best at this role. Each a little different but both equally entertaining.
Algorithm sent me and I have just watched your Lockstock reaction before this. I like the cut of your jib, you react intelligently, yet with humour. Consider me a new subscriber. Look forward to catching up with your other uploads. And please DO watch SH 2 - A Game Of Shadows. IMO, just as good as this one. 😊
My brother in law has a 2 second face shot with no line just before he gets blown up… he was good friends of guy richies friend. Rock n roller and early guy richie flick not bad… a guy Richie fan I am as lock stock is in my top 3 movies…. Gold it is. ❤ Must of been the other Sherlock movie…?
If you have never seen Young Sherlock Holmes give it a shot. I remember seeing it in the theater. Dug it then and when I’m done watching your video I might even put it on tonight. But this and the sequel are a good time.
I see you've got the original version! After Jared Harris was cast as Moriarty they replaced part 1 moriartys voice on the streaming versions of this movie
These are honestly the most intelligent movies I've seen, especially the sequel which makes it even more flabbergasting why it gets such MEDIOCRE REVIEWS The second, not only the best one but one of the most legendary films I have ever graced my eyes on and always find new things about it ever since I first watched it, which was 8 YEARS AGO, somehow get barely acceptable scores (Rotten Tomatoes wa the most horrendous since it was once in the 50s, which it was bombed up to 60 but still) It makes me glad to see just how many fans there were when it came out and how it keeps getting more and more fans as time progresses
I don't understand why people knock these movies. I quite enjoyed them. Particularly the second.
Coming up in the Sequel, we get a true standoff between Holmes and his Arch-Nemesis. Professor James Moriarty, the Napoleon Of Crime.
Chrissie if not seen I'd recommend The Limehouse Golem a brilliant Jack the Ripper style movie.Thanks for this.💓👍🇬🇧
I really hope we get a third movie
Good evening ma'am I hope you're well! I've never seen the movie before but also enjoy the TV series. Thank you for your reaction 😁🤘🔥

It’s also worth mentioning the Cumberbatch Holmes had about four series I think.

@@chrissiereacts It is said that one of the actors Chips Raffety when the director said “you can’t keep that up all day” said “you worry about directing I worry about the drinking”. Easy to believe Chips did like a drink.
And RDJ with an accent. You must watch Chaplain. I have a full sized poster of that one over my desk.
Thank you for Paying attention and give the world a Proper Reaction video. Unlike most unwatchable Gen-Z girls "reaction", constantly talking and making everything about themselves. Will You watch the Second Movie ?

Elemetary is a great TV show too. Johhny Lee Miller is an amazing Holmes, def my favourite out of them all. The Enola Holmes films on Netflix are also worth a watch as well. More enjoyable than these RDJ Sherlock ones.
