I know my Conan Doyle perfectly well.
I grew up with.
Now what did Ritchie with it.
A bit of digital haze, but not too much.
A few inventive camera works.
More or less inventive since Cosner Robin Hood.
He got an excellent Charlie Chaplin actor. And the rest was perfectly enjoyable.
Shake and a modern sauce poured over the whole, et voila you got a modern film.
Now did he fit in the spirit of the novels. Yes it did.
What is lush? Yes it was.
Was it boring.
No it was not.
Nicely done I would say, Ritchie.
I hope you got another one in this range.
Good show.
