I can't believe I haven't reviewed this movie on here yet. I love this version of Sherlock Holmes, RDJ and Jude Law will always be my Sherlock and Watson. I pray that they make a third one!!

"It has all the elements you’d expect from a Sherlock Holmes story—you’re presented with a number of things that would help you solve the question, but you can’t or you don’t. When you get to the end and Sherlock explains everything, you say, ‘Aw, I should have noticed that!’ All the facts are there. It’s hard to piece things together without the background and the inquisitive mind Holmes has."

Can literally think of nothing bad about this series. Benedict Cumberbatch is phenomenal in his portrayal of Sherlock Holmes, almost as if he was born to play the part. (0 more)

Perhaps the most famous of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes mysteries, in which the super-sleuth investigates the supposed Baskerville family curse of the hell-hound on the moors.

"Anything by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle featuring Sherlock Holmes. Many people have enjoyed the adventures of Holmes and Watson in films and on the small screen. My guess would be that far fewer have actually read the stories from which they’re taken. Sherlock and Dr. John aren’t cozy, tweedy, oddball caricatures. They’re tough guys—resolute, brilliant and action-oriented. And if you’ve got lots of reading time on your hands, we’re talking LOTS of stories."

I may be good, but Sherlock Holmes is better. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle weaves unusual and fantastical tales about the globally beloved detective in this collection of stories. Each is short and can be devoured in less than an hour. They are some of his more famous short works and highly enjoyable.

Doyle paints a narrative through the eyes of Holmes' companion, Dr. Watson and makes the tale more accessible to the average reader. Holmes' sharp mannerisms and lofty thoughts would not be as intriguing if Watson's nobler sentiments and smoothing words did not soften him. Each mystery slowly unfolds before the reader's eyes and if their powers of deduction are keen, they may even discover some clues or Holmes' motives before they're expressly detailed.

The adventures of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson were beloved in their time and are now classics for a reason. This is a wonderful collection of stories and highly recommended to fans of detective stories, classic novels, or have never read a story about Sherlock Holmes before and wish to give them a shot. (You won't be disappointed.)
