This movie has been blocked about 15 times due to stupid copyright so give this one some love!!
15 times?!
Also fun fact: Holmes & Moriarty inspired Batman & Joker
Wsg
React to The Gentleman from 2019 , is also directed by Guy Ritchie and an awesome movie!
♥️
It's bad for us fans who keep seeing it pop up on our recommendations and it immediately buggers off, I can't begin to imagine how annoying it is for you chaps, thank you for persevering though, I never thought you would react to this but I'm really glad you have.
I *love* this version. It's much closer to the original Sherlock than people think. He did martial arts, he got in amateur boxing matches, and he could bend a frickin' iron poker with his bare hands. They put a lot of Holmes Easter eggs in this movie, from character references to lines of dialogue. And it's an incredible performance by RDJ, who did an accent so good that Guy Ritchie himself was fooled by it. You should definitely watch the sequel, "Game of Shadows".
We did!! Itt'll be up next week!!!
It is pretty close to the books.
Lets plz not forget he had played a Brit before in the 90s in Chaplin...
@@whitenoisereacts yes! i can't wait for the sequel, i remember seeing it in theaters
it's great
Also, Holmes often solved mysteries that appeared to involve the supernatural, but were very clever tricks.
Holmes being an action movie isn't actually that weird - his skills in mixed martial arts is actually canon to the original novels, with his style being a combination of boxing, jujitsu, cane fighting and French kickboxing. Same with his drug use
Oh u had no idea!!
Yes, but as a side issue, not central to the stories as it is in this movie.
One of my favorite touches in the Jeremy Brett series is where he goes to box someone and he uses the Victorian stance which seems so odd - and yet so perfectly period.
Yes, the reference to Holmes drinking something "used for eye surgery" is a veiled reference to cocaine, which was used as a local anesthetic at the time the way we use novocaine today. Holmes would typically use it between cases to stimulate his mind...once he had something to solve, he no longer needed it.
@@johnnehrich9601 It on occasion is VERY important: his shooting skills have more than once saved his life.
Additionally, the origin story of the two coming together is when Watson met Sherlock shortly after he'd returned home from a war due to health reasons, so being able to fight is also reasonable for him, and it's as likely as not that he would have picked up additional fighting skills and tricks from Holmes while they were living together.
I love people being surprised that Watson can fight- he may be a doctor, but he was a soldier first.
yes but military personel do not learn martial arts. not even today. they learn how to use guns. even today they have at most 60 hours of martial arts training
@@houseofactionThat is true, but take into account we are talking about a character that has military trained discipline, and lived for lengthy periods with Holmes.
Holmes was either competently trained, or quite accomplished in many fighting forms. Holmes was fond as well as protective of Watson which was extremely rare for his character.
So it would simply stand to reason that Holmes would likely offer to train Watson in defense of himself to be all the more safe during their adventures together, and Watson would naturally take to it well with his disciplined mind and former military personality type.
@@houseofaction kind of depends on what you're doing in the miliary. I had plenty of martial arts and hand to hand combat training.
Like a pilot won't have to but if you're infantery you better learn hoe to fight without your gun bc chancrs are you'll get caught in a situation where using guns is not an option.
@@houseofaction This era was before automatic weapons was in wide use so there's more emphasis on hand to hand combat in Watson's time than the soldier of today.
1.The sequel to this , A Game of Shadows is arguibly one of the best Sherlock Holmes adaptations ever made.
2. Both movies actually stick pretty close to how the books portrayed the characters.
Both Sherlock & Watson knew how to throw down, the former having trained in jiujitsu, kickboxing etc and the latter having been a soldier
Sherlock was borderline crazy with his various curiosities, performing experiments on corpses, using various drugs and weapons in his apartment ,as well as learning to play who knows how many instruments and learning countless songs by heart.
All of it in a quest to become a better more knowledgeable detective, even if it makes him look like a complete loon
This contrasts super well with Watson who , while having been an army doctor, is basically just a normal person and is the voice of the reader/audience reacting to Sherlock's methods, while still being competent in his own right and even becoming a decent detective himself by observing and being lowkey mentored by Sherlock
I don't think they understood Holmes' character in Game of Shadows. I'm going to be vague here to avoid spoilers, but there is a scene where Holmes is bad at some common task that Watson and everyone else with them at the time is good at, and doing this task is important. Holmes is bad at it because he has an irrational fear of something involved in the task.
That common task is one that would be important for a consulting detective to be able to do, to the point that having trouble with it would lower his ability to do his job.
The Holmes from the books would have learned to be an expert at that task despite his fears because it is important to his work, and to Holmes his work is everything. It is pretty much his defining characteristic.
@@timsmith8489 Don't say stupid things, Sherlock is great in the sequel.
Game of Shadows is probably one of my favorite Sherlock Holmes movies. The plot, story line, comedy, cinematography, choreography, etc was perfect.
Same!!! I just got back into binging it lol. Its my background noise to fall asleep at night lately😂😅
While not based on any one particular story, there's a ton of references to various Holmes stories in this film, from quotes to story details such as the discussion about the pocketwatch to Holmes experimenting on dogs and his general disdain of women and the supernatural. The boxer he trounces appeared in The Sign of Four, where he's working as a bodyguard and doesn't want to let Holmes in to see a client until he recognizes him from the fight and steps aside. Holmes was a proficient boxer and knowledgeable of a rare martial art called bartitsu (misspelled slightly in the books as "baritsu",) a contraction of "Barton's jujitsu," which was briefly popular at the time and likely would have been entirely forgotten had it not appeared in the Holmes stories. Robery Downey Jr. actually learned some of the actual techniques from that particular martial art for some of the fight scenes, particularly in the second film.
I've watched these 2 movies like 50 times. Serious guilty pleasure. I think they're making a third one.
I hope so!!
sadly it's in a bit of development hell
@@coulsonintahiti aw dang
@@coulsonintahiti nah rdj said that he wanted to finish his contract in marvel before making the 3rd movie
@@daavocadoguy5733 well its over
I love the demonstration of Sherlock's brilliance. How they had him think through what he was going to do in the underground fight club before he actually did it was a masterfully done bit of cinematography.
RDJ actually practices the martial arts he demonstrated in the movie. They do a more modern action movie style with Holmes here, but the major character beats are all there from the stories
1. Master of disguise
2. Underworld connections in London and elsewhere
3. Shooting VR in tribute to Queen Victoria on his wall with a pistol when he's bored
4. The violin
5. The deductive and observational prowess and mastery of science, particularly chemistry
6. Irene Adler...this would have taken place sometime after the events in A Scandal in Bohemia, where she was first introduced.
7. The drug dependence
I also like how they made Jude Law's take on Dr. Watson more of a match physically and intellectually to Holmes, much more so than Arthur Conan Doyle wrote him in the stories and novels. Dr. Watson did marry Mary and move out to more fully spend time with his practice shortly before Holmes and Moriarty began their confrontation.
They fit in so much of the essential character of Holmes and spun up some things very nicely. Another thing to realize is that Conan Doyle was obsessed with the occult and magic later in life, attending and funding seances and the like and trying to verify if such things were real. This was a big thing in intellectual society in the late Victorian era.
Dr. Watson served in the British Army in Afghanistan and India and was wounded in the leg there. It was upon his return to London, recovering from his wounds, that he was looking for an apartment and met Holmes.
His statements about needing work and his mind stagnating and the instant analysis of the newspaper stories are direct references to things that Conan Doyle wrote about Holmes in various stories.
I’m so glad you saw this movie! The sequel reaction is gonna be phenomenal AS LONG AS YOU DONT SPOIL YOURSELF!
Surprisingly accurate to the source material. Sherlock was a very good boxer. He knew martial arts. Watson served in the Army. He has weapons and fight training so he can and does hold his own. I really wish they had made more. Extremely well shot, some real fun with the camera, RDJ is shockingly good.
Mary is awesome. When she bails Watson out she's got a huge shit eating grin on her face... because leaving Holmes in there is her revenge for the dinner. She's having a laugh. She always respects Watson's love for Holmes and understands that they need each other. And Holmes too truly respects Mary because she's smart and quick witted, she can play games right back with him. He's like the big brother watching out for Watson with his girl, but she shows him she is good for him. Its just a truly well written and fun relationship the 3 of them have.
Surprisingly Sherlock was incredibly strong in the books, I think In one scene he was even even able to pick up a bent metal fireplace poker and straighten it with his hands only and apparently Arthur Conan Doyle even gave his character a martial art called baritsu, which was surprisingly modern and effective (in real life it was called bartitsu)
I demand a Guy Ritchie multiverse movie with Robert Downey Jr, Benedict Cumberbach, and Henry Cavill all playing versions of Holmes to solve a grand mystery.
YES!!!
holmes multiverse lol
and the ghost of Jeremy Brett
Wasn't Michael Caine Sherlock too? That would be great and funny too😅😉 But great Idea. I also love Enola Holmes and I love that Helena Bonham Carter plays her Mom.
I like the feeling and time of these Sherlock movies too!
@@ann-kathrin77 I didn't know that! I remember that Ian McKellen played an older version of Sherlock.
your a genius mate
My favourite Sherlock Holmes , was Jeremy Brett. He to me, is the true definition of Sherlock. I started reading the books from Primary School, so watching the TV drama series was great. RIP Jeremy. 💕
Robert Downey Jr was perfect as Sherlock Holmes! And always will be!
If you have read some of the original stories, you would LOVE the Sherlock TV show. It has so many many references to the stories and even Conan-Doyle himself. It's my favorite TV show. I'm a huge Holmes fan. Sherlock is my favorite adaptation and these movies are my second favorite. I feel if you combine RDJ's Holmes and Cumberbatch's Holmes, you'd have the real character from the books.
Watched the movies today. Gonna continue with the show. Also saw the Elona Holmes movies and I orderd the books today.
Don’t forget Jeremy Brett!
loved the way Robert Downey Jr played Sherlock in this, especially the way he would call the landlord, "Nanny!"
I absolutely adore Sherlock Holmes! The books, various adaptations, and even things that just reference Sherlock are great. I'd definitely recommend the tv series, it's a great take on a "modern" Sherlock Holmes!
Yes, DEFINITELY react to the TV show, Benedict Cumberbatch embodies Sherlock Holmes in modern times so well, and Martin Freeman as Watson is great as well
I heard the show was terrible and the only reason Holmes seems smart, is because they give you zero information until the end of the mysteries when he smugly explains what’s been happening.
If they are going to do TV versions of Holmes set in modern times then they should also definitely do the CBS series "Elementary". But first read the original stories. "Elementary" is fine even if one has never heard of Holmes and Watson before, but it is especially a treat for those who know the stories well.
Many episodes will be quickly recognized as a modern update on one of the original stories so you think you know where it is going but they put a twist on it that (a) makes it so you in fact had no idea what was going to happen, and (b) makes absolute perfect sense.
it may be a controversial opinion but i like all three: the RDJ movies, the Cumberbatch Show and the Elementary Show. They differ wildly but they are fantastic in their own way
@@nemonomen3340 I will agree that the show won't give you the information, but neither does this movie, because that's literally the point of Sherlock Holmes. He's a smug asshole who cares deeply for only a few people (which the show also shows how he gets to know and care for Watson).
The show mainly focuses on Holmes from the start as a very neurotic genius to someone who learns what friendship is.
I can understand some people not liking that character type but to call the show terrible over it is objectively wrong. It's written well, acted well, shot well and enjoyed by millions, which by definition makes it a good show.
@@nemonomen3340 who did you hear that from? 1 moron with nothing to do? It's one of the highest rated showed ever and deservedly soy the first 3 seasons are excellent, and I don't say that lightly..it's one of very, VERY few tv shows I'd recommend to anyone without a second thought.
The Sherlock show on BBC is *chef's kiss*
THE SHOW IS SO GOOD! PLEASE WATCH IT. Thanks for releasing this. Sorry UA-cam was being a pain. Appreciate you guys! !
Yeah, it’s a bit wild but we keep on keeping on
@@whitenoisereacts I think you guys would absolutely love the Sherlock show it's so good. You'll be amazed how clever it is, some of the episodes are brilliant in the writing department.
I'm so glad to see another Sherlock fan! A lot of my friends are very critical of it and that sort of makes it hard cause I have to constantly justify why I like it so much.
Guy Ritchie's The Gentleman is brilliant you guys should definitely add it to the list, I think you'd love it has a similar mystery vibe that Ritchie done here too
Take notice of Downey's lower lip throughout the movie. He was knocked out and his lip was busted open when they were filming the fight scene with Dredger in the shipyard. The movie wasn't shot in sequence, so the split lip shows up intermittently, but it's very noticeable.
The show is very well done. Bendetict Cumberbatch is my favorite Sherlock Holmes. Oh heck, I think Martin Freeman is my favorite Watson.
This show is known “as fanfiction” and the creators say “fans write fan fiction of their fan fiction”.
This show handles the original subject matter with care, develops their characters, and balance the comedy and darkness to well.
Just watch it. You won’t be disappointed.
Can’t wait for you guys to do the second one. Idc what anyone says it’s a great sequel. You can not go wrong with Law or Downey. Love the reaction as always fellas and the consistent content. ✌️
This is my favorite Hans Zimmer soundtrack! I love the experimental sound and strings
This is my favourite Sherlock Holmes rendition and I’m so glad u’ve decided to watch it
This is good. One thing everyone misses: the four murders are Earth (coffin) Water (bath) Fire (gun) and Air (gas)
Also when Blackwood dies as the replacement last murder, taken by a crow that is probably the devil, he's also an air murder - hanged.
I wonder if you two would ever consider checking out the BBC Sherlock, which is a completely modernized take with a deep love for the original Canon. It would be a bit challenging given that each episode is 90 minutes, but there are only 3 episodes per season. Considering how much you enjoyed his character here, the BBC series would give you a wide playing field for analysis and humor. Plus I would just love watching your take. 😍
Sherlock Holme's fighting style is Bartitsu a Victorian era mixed martial arts that uses boxing and cane fighting as well as some Japanese martial arts (specifically jujitsu).
What about wing chun?
@@Nekotaku_TV It might. The guy who invented it spent time in a few Asian countries.
@@Qshafe Well a lot of sources say it's wing chun at least in the movie and/or that RDJ has practiced.
Alot of comments recommending the Cumberbatch Sherlock Holmes, but personally I think that if you really like the Sherlock Holmes lore, you need to watch the ITV Jeremy Brett series from the 80's. It's by far the closest and most faithful adaptation to the original books. It's less flashy and glamourised than the modern versions, but it shows the genius of the character and the storylines.
I would love to see your guys' reaction to the show!! I would happily watch both of you try to figure out those mysteries. Also, the movies kind of reference multiple Sherlock stories or at least bits of them.
The fight choreographer for this movie has described the movie's fighting as “neo-Bartitsu” developed for that project as being a combination of “Chinese Boxing (Wing Chun), swordplay and some elements of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.” Also, Robert Downey Jr's real-life Wing Chun teacher, Eric Oram, worked with him
Ahh I remember when I recomended you guys watch this and Game of Shadows way back. Happy to see it finally getting that reaction :D
I LOVE Benedict Cumberbitch's modern take on Sherlock and Martin Freeman's version of Watson... So even if you guys don't watch it for the channel, I DEFINITELY recommend that you guys watch it in your free time. I also LOVE these Sherlock Holmes movies with Jude Law and RDJ too and my Mom and I both rewatch these movies all the time... I HAVE also read all of the Sherlock Holmes books too back in high school for the fun of it, and LOVED them to pieces!!! And.. since you like Guy Richie sooo much... King Arthur: Legend of the Sword is an AMAZING movie he did too!! Jude Law plays the villain in it and an actor named Charlie Humman plays a younger King Arthur, and they both did SOOO good in that one too!!! I DEFINITELY recommend that one too!!! Mom and I both LOVE that one and rewatch it whenever it's on cable.
I have always loved this movie. This was one of the first movies I ever saw Robert Downey Jr in, and I still adore it.
My mom was a huge Sherlock Holmes fan, and she loved this movie. I only read 1 or 2 Holmes stories. My understanding is that this portrayal is actually fairly faithful. Holmes is basically a bi-polar addict, and yes, I believe that he does practice some forms of combat.
For Guy Ritche movies next should definitely be Snatch it's so great and fast paced and hilarious
PLEASE, I'M BEGGING YOU... watch the TV Show.
Nobu can literally predict every movie plot, I want to see him trying to guess what is going to happen every episode.
Hmm lol that would be fun
@@whitenoisereacts jude law has been cast to play Captain Hook in the live action version of Disney Peter Pan and Wendy I think he will be perfect as hook because he's very good at the villain
@@whitenoisereacts Guy Ritchie did the live-action Aladdin also
SUCH A INTENSE MOVIE SERIES , I can't believe I forgot to mention this movie! Robert downy Jr does fantastic!! ALWAYS LOVE YOUR BREAKDOWNS AND YOUR REACTIONS GUYS!! If you can could you watch Robots, Over the hedge, Cars series or maybe Charlie and the chocolate factory by Tim Burton, I think you both would appreciate the work done in these projects with great actors and voice actors!
The Sherlock series is fantastic, but one of my favorites is the tv series starring Jeremy Brett. Also Jude Law makes a pretty great Watson. 🙂
Big Sherlock Holmes fan here, I'll fill in a few things
1. This movie isn't based on any specific book or story, but elements of it, like the dinner scene where Sherlock describes Watson's backstory and the later discussion of the scratched pocket-watch, are lifted directly from specific stories (in those case, both taken from the same scene of 'A Study In Scarlet'. There, it was Watson's watch given to him by an alcoholic relative). Even just the way Holmes refers to Adler as 'woman' (I'll get to that later) is taken from one of the stories.
2. Holmes is one of the inspirations for Batman, the reason I bring this up is because Batman is a master of damn everything on the planet (chemistry, physics, martial arts, etc), and Holmes was written to be very similar. He's vastly intelligent but also physically developed, skilled with things like pistol-shooting and general combat, plus being a master of disguise (as we see through the movie).
3. Irene Adler is a character from only one of the short stories (although it's one of the best), 'A Scandal In Bohemia', but she became incredibly popular. She's introduced as a rival of sorts to Holmes, with the story referring to her as the only person who ever managed to truly outsmart him, and while the story makes it clear that he has a great many ill feelings towards her, a lot of people have taken it to be that he might actually like her, hence her inclusion in this film as a love-interest for Holmes to pursue. The story claims that Holmes has such a negative view of Adler, he refuses to call her by her name, only ever referring to her as 'The Woman'.
4. This isn't a specific thing, more just a general observation: I love how well this film nails Holmes as a character. He doesn't have the stereotypical deerstalker hat (because it's not actually that big of a thing in the stories), he's painfully antisocial, dangerously cocky, and can't cope without someone like Watson to put up with him. Without something to put his mind to work, he goes mad with boredom. He really has the 'cursed with genius' idea down pat.
5. The explanation given in the books as to why Sherlock doesn't join the police is that he feels like doing a 9-5 job with rules and superiors would be suffocating for him, and he wouldn't be able to work properly. He needs freedom to come and go as he pleases, where he wants and when he wants and to do whatever he wants to do. Hence, he lets Lestrade get the official credit for catching the criminals, but everyone knows that Sherlock Holmes was the one who solved the crime in the first place. Hell, in the books he even advertises his services as a 'consulting detective' that people can go to with strange problems, which is how most of the short stories begin.
6. Watson being the in-universe author of the Holmes stories is true to the very first book, where Watson was writing about the adventures he went on with Sherlock.
I love these movies so much. They are actually pretty accurate to the books, certainly more so than a lot of the other modern adaptations.
And some fun facts:
- The music is by Hans Zimmer, same guy who did Pirates of the Caribbean, Interstellar, Inception, Gladiator, and much, much more.
- Gavin Free of the Slow Mo Guys worked on the slow mo for the second movie. Particularly the escape from the factory (which is one of my favourite movie scenes of all time, the cinematography is incredible). There's some videos floating around yt where he talks about it.
Probably the film soundtrack I listened the most for years now (of both films).
YES GUYS! I would totally love a full reaction of the TV Show. These past weeks I've been craving some Sherlock reactions, I'm soooooo excited
I loved the steampunk feel of this movie, and didn't expect the awesome fight scenes at all. The series is great because it focuses on the relationship between Holmes and Watson, and also drag them into the modern world. I totally recommend it.
2:50
according to the book, Sherlock was a scholar of fencing, kung-fu and marksmanship.
it is said that one of the walls of his apartment was riddled with bullet holes due to him practicing with his revolver.
at the time, the British empire was huge in Asia, so being the curious bookworm he was, he'd be fascinated with China, India and the Middle East.
6:00
yep... there it is.
This will always be my favorite version of Holmes.
Not mine
I am fully requesting you watch the 2nd movie as well! The way the play off the classic character is fantastic and I’m a huge Sherlock fan. It’s hard to get the character right but this is almost so left field that it works amazingly well as an adaptation
Martial arts: Holmes is an expert in "Bartitsu", an usual martial art combining jujitsu and boxing with a cane or walking stick. It was developed in England in the late 19th century for the "gentleman adventurer". It did not catch on.
Fun Fact: Sherlock Holmes was one of three characters that were the main inspiration for Batman the other two being Dracula and Zoro
Oh I love almost every production on Sherlock Holmes, my favorite is the series with Benedict Cumberbatch, you guys should definitely react do that one
Sherlock Holmes!!! Noice!
So few reactors do this one and it's sequel; yet they are so good! As far as I am concerned, Robert Downey Jr.'s interpretation of the character is the most accurate one!
2:57 - Fun Fact: He absolutely IS! In the book, Doyle mentions that Holmes is a master of *Baritsu* , a martial art originally developed in England in 1898-1902, combining elements of boxing, jujitsu, cane fighting and French kickboxing (savate). And THAT is why this version of Sherlock Holmes is the absolute BEST there is! (That and his addiction to drugs and his anti-social behavior, which are all in the books but that were erased from pop-culture because of the "censored" interpretations created in 20th century british television and movies, which was then copied by Hollywoodian productions)
Would 100% watch if you guys reacted to the BBC Sherlock series. They are masterfully done.
The Benedict Cumberbatch version is good in its own right, particularly if you are familiar with the original stories, and you see how they massage them and make them work for a modern version.
There are many MANY depictions of Holmes more closely based on the stories. Basil Rathbone was at one point considered the most faith to Conan Doyle's stories. The movies started by being set in Victorian times, but then WWII interfered and Holmes and Watson found themselves in a c. 1940 era, fighting Nazis and worrying about bomb sights for airplanes.
But the Jeremy Brett ones, in most opinions - at least in mine - is the gold standard of the Holmes that was presented in the stories. You should see the pains they went to, to match both the specific details in the books, and the details of Victorian life itself.
I strongly suggest watching some of those - no reason you can't like this, the Cumberbatch version, the Brett version, etc. all equally well, and thus cherish the differences. (Or prefer some over the others but at least you have a chance to compare - as well as let your viewers compare.)
Jeremy Brett WAS Sherlock Holmes. There have been many interpretations, but his came the closest, despite the actor himself feeling as though he didn't quite nail it. The opening shot from the title sequence in that series is replicated right after the title in this film, and Moriarty's red ledger book from the second film is the same as the one used in the Brett series, as well.
@@Corn_Pone_Flicks Yes, I agrees absolutely 100% totally - Brett came up with little quirks and such that seem to really make it seem like HOLMES had just stepped right off the pages of Conan Doyle's works. I was just trying to be respectful of those who like another version better.
There are moments in the Brett show where you can press pause and hold up one of Sidney Paget's illustrations and it's dead-on. The level of love and attention that went into that show was legendary, not to mention Brett's dedication to the role.
Benedict's version thinks its much more clever than it is, though thats entirely Stephen Moffats fault. A lot of Moffat's attempts to "modernise" classic Sherlock beats are clunky and kind of ridiculous (case in point, trying to analogise the drunk man scratching his watch with the winding key to a drunk man scratching his phone with the charger. Its just....dumb). Plus that shows depiction of Irene is nothing short of offfensive (making her a lesbian who is "turned" by Sherlock is just vile)
Elementary is the superior modern tv version imho.
@@johnnehrich9601 What do you think about the Guy Ritchie's movies?
If you're thinking of doing more Guy Ritchie films, the Gentleman is excellent. Snatch is also quite good too.
Ok cool!!
24:53 unintentional "There's Something About Mary?" reference 😄
I have waited for long time to someone react to this!!!
Love the reaction!
The movie that sparked years of brilliant English comms essays for kids around my age in college. Such a great movie
Yall's timing is impeccable! I was just scouring UA-cam a few days ago looking for reactions to these movies! I'm so excited!!!
Also requesting the Cumberbatch series (at least the first 2-3 seasons). For another fun Guy Ritchie, I'll mention his modern take on Man From U.N.C.L.E. For another RDJ watch, maybe check out Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, a Shane Black film....it's fitting for a December watch.
I forget who voiced Moriarty in the original version, but I honestly loved his voice better. It was deeper and sounded more sinister and cold, similar to how Lord Blackwood sounded. In the version you watched, he's revoiced by Jared Harris, who plays Moriarty in the sequel.
Oh I was gonna say! The voices matched here
Speaking of Blackwood, all I hear is Merlin.
I mean, for continuity-sake, it's really good that Ritchie pulled a George Lucas and put Jared Harris in the first movie.
I always just head-canoned that Moriarty was using some sort of voice changer for this movie, but it's cool that they got Harris to rerecord the lines..Feels bad for the original guy though..
This and the sequel movie are a lot of fun, I enjoy them a lot, and I’m glad you guys are doing these
Guy Ritchie’s King Arthur is worth a watch. Ritchie brings to the arthurian legend his own signature style that is the very thing that makes the movie awesome, although the movie did receive a lot of hate when it came out. I really don’t understand why. And funnily enough, Jude Law plays a part in that movie too.
Great episode! Stella brings so much to this channel, you guys should definitely have her on more episodes! Love the channel!
That’s the plan!
When Holmes found the secret door, I could only think about Tony Stark from Age of Ultron saying "Please be a secret door. Please be a secret door...yay."
My favourite Sherlock. Holmes goes literally insane if he doesn’t have something to solve.
The Hans Zimmer score for this and the sequel, are brilliant.
I love how both Sherlock Holmes and both Watsons are in the MCU.
grew up watching this with my dad and love them and me and my dad can't wait for the third one to come out : )
As this is literally my favorite film of all time, (perhaps not the “best”, but a personal sweet spot) I am thrilled to have your reaction. I love reaction channels but there is literally only one other out there at this time for SH 2009. (An excellent session with The Homies)
I love the mystery, clever action and engaging characters working at cross purposes. Completely got hoodwinked by Blackwoods “sorcery” on my first watch, very satisfying reveal. I re watch it every few years and it seems like I discover a new detail each time. 💜
My best friend and I watched these movies wayyyyyyy too many times together. We are big robert fans
Since both RDJ and Cumberbatch had played versions of Holmes, many of us were hoping the line "No sh!t, Sherlock!" would be used at or by either of them in Infinity War.
I really like the whole thing. They addressed all of the things I already knew about Sherlock and the spin they took made it more fun than just a murder mystery type of thing
Do you guys understand what sherlock was saying about radio waves? That's what is in the present now, we control many thing by sending a signal to our devices such as turning on a tv
with a remote or unlocking our car with the key fob. Brilliant!!
I love this take on Sherlock Holmes, hopefully I think they’re making a 3rd. But if you’re going down the Guy Ritchie path, “Snatch” is an all time classic monster movie and his newest film “Wrath of Man” was good as well IMO. Great reaction!!
I love this Sherlock so much!!! Thanks for your reaction!!!!
I love the movies too !!!
Thanks for the reaction I was waiting for it !
I enjoy it very much!
That’s the thing of Sherlock Holmes when I saw this movie, he first analyze the situation, and then he pursue it.
“SNATCH”… another great Guy Ritchie film…I highly recommend
YES, the TV show was brilliant! One of the creators(also writes) also plays Mycroft in the show
That building explosion scene is so good just how they made you feel for Watson and Holmes crazy
A must see with Jude Law is Gattaca. It's a slow burn not everyone's taste but something everyone should see once.
In the books Holmes is not a fighter, but there are a few stories where events are attributed to the supernatural, which Sherlock exposes as being of natural origin. There was a lot of superstition back in Victorian times, probably even more than there is today. The Hound of the Baskervilles comes to mind.
Yeah that's what I was thinking!!
I like the fighter Sherlock Holmes.
@@scottchaison1001 so do I. I like all versions of Sherlock, including Dr House. I was merely responding to their comparison between the books and the movie
In the "books" Holmes had been a boxer.
The TV show "Sherlock" is a very good Sherlock Holmes Show featuring Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock from Dr. Strange Fame, and Martin Freeman as Watson from Hobbit Fame.
Blackwood learned the hard way that the devil always collects what he's owed.
In the books, Holmes was an expert fencer, singlestick fighter, and practitioner of a fictional martial art. Plus he was strong, smart, and very quick. But he usually carried a gun if he expected real trouble.
If you’re interested in checking out more Guy Ritchie movies, I’d recommend his King Arthur!
I remember reading a couple of Sherlock books while I was in prison a few years back and he is as badass in this as he was in the books.
I love that part about the wireless communication. Remember when I first saw the movie it really struck as something that would have be completely revolutionary at the times portrayed in the movie. Really clever plot.
I think in all seriousness that this is my new favorite reaction channel... Absolutely love the two of you and your laid back analytical style, mixed in with a perfect dose of critical thinking after ambiguous or important scenes, something that is sorely lacking in other reaction channels. Only stumbled on your channel a week or so ago, and this is probably only my 4th or 5th video of yours I've watched, which should tell you all you need to know about how much I like you guys and your reaction videos already. Can't wait to see more of them, and thanks for the hours of entertainment you've already provided me gentlemen!
I LOVE this movie. I'm a fan of the books and seeing this movie when I was little was a dream come true
Game of Shadows is one of my favorite movies ever, can’t wait to see it again with ya!
Yes! I LOVE you reactin the the Sherlock Holmes movies. So underrated and needs more attention on here.
12:26 If I'm not mistaken, that bridge in the background being constructed is often mistaken as "London Bridge", but it is actually a different bridge called "Tower Bridge".
7:41 my hubby and I love this...we say it randomly when the occasion calls for it...🤭...yes yes we're very childish😁
Professor James Moriarty, sworn nemesis of Sherlock Holmes. The Napoleon of Crime.
24:55 "There's something about Mary."
Which reminds me, you guys need to watch THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY starring Ben Stiller, Cameron Diaz, and Matt Dillon. It's a comedy that will make you howl.
Another great reaction, Thankyou so much for watching! I would Love if you did the Sherlock Tv show
