Movie Review!!


Looking forward to the weekend? Then, why not catch a movie at your local cinema!
And if you can’t decide on which movie to watch, then read on as GRADUAN offers our take on the much awaited movie of last year.

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows


The second instalment of the Sherlock Holmes franchise has bursts onto screens late last year; and this time it’s bigger and better!

If you’re hoping for the suave and debonair Holmes this time a ‘round; I’m afraid you’ll surely be disappointed.

But, never fret!  Sherlock Holmes 2.0 certainly does not let down as the erratic, neurotic and (oftentimes) manic Detective that we love.

Reprising his role as the beloved Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s character, Robert Downey Jr embraces his character’s persona and gives it a twist that only Downey can pull off.

What would Sherlock Holmes be without his loyal sidekick Dr Watson?! The chemistry between Downey and Jude Law (Watson), as well as their witty banter, definitely gives the movie more ‘flavour’.


The exasperated Dr Watson puts up with Holmes’ suicidal-like behaviour with aplomb and often proves to be the voice of reason for Holmes (albeit joining in on several of Holmes’ escapades!).

The cinematography and music certainly bears mention as it was a feast for the senses. 

Till next time!!
