When Guy Ritchie released Sherlock Holmes with RDJ and Jude Law. It was criticized for taking up Tony Stark mannerism,elaborate action scenes, very few actual detective scenes and too much style over plot.
Then came Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock with Martin Freeman as Watson and everyone drooled over it due Benedict's charisma, the modern retake etc.
But now when I watch them both, I feel the Guy Ritchie is aging better
What I liked
- Better chemistry between Sherlock and Watson than the BBC one
- Watson not reduced to a bumbling fool but a rather decent detective on his own (he almost solved hound of baskervilles in novels)
- 1890s London
- Hans Zimmer music
- Jared Harris Moriarty trumps over the Emo Andrew Scott one.
- RDJ being more of an eccentric person with a heart than an actual person on a spectrum. Benedict was almost like Sheldon Cooper and the Good Doctor with the same "everyone should tolerate me" attitude
- ANd of course ,the better use of Mary instead of making her a deadly assassin.
- SHerlock part 3 and 4 were a disappointment and every fans knew it . Thats why there is no part 5 as the showrunners knew they cant redeem it in any manner.
Does anyone else think that the Guy Ritchie is aging better and possibly needs a third part ?
