#Film review sherlock holmes 2009 movie#

Quality(opinionated): A good reboot of the stories, with good action and a very engaging story. Positive Role Models And Representations(2/5): Greed is balanced by Holmes' good nature, despite him having a questionable attitude towards many thing. Positive Messages(2/5): Messages about creativity, being aware of your surroundings, courage, and friendship. Blackwood's hanging in the beginning was false, and we then see him hanged at a dock by accident, his corpse is seen hanging. An explosion occurs at a slaughterhouse filled with dead animals, and Holmes and Watson's injuries are later seen. A man is lit on fire, and another is drowned quite brutally. One long extended fight between Sherlock and Dredger results in a ship in construction falling into the sea and destroying a building. Violence(4/5): Graphic, brutal fistfights throughout with focus on tons of painful things such as broken bones and spitting blood, including guns being fired. A brief innuendo.ĭrinking, Drugs, And Smoking(2/5): Pipe smoking and infrequent beer drinking. A woman undresses and her nude back is seen but nothing else. Sex(3/5): Sherlock is handcuffed to his bed nude with pillows covering his private parts, and a woman is disgusted after she assumes sexual intent. Language(1/5): One use of 'bugger', 'arse', 'damn', 'hell', and 'bastard'.
