VOICED: New movie updates classic view of Sherlock Holmes

The video discusses the new Hollywood remake of Sherlock Holmes, starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, which takes a different approach by focusing on action and special effects. Despite this, the film remains faithful to the original texts by cherry-picking elements from the novels. Set in Victorian London, the film introduces a new character, Lord Blackwood. The video also contrasts traditional and modern adaptations of Holmes, highlighting the artistic license taken in the film. The remake has captured the imagination of a new generation, even if their closest encounter with Holmes is through a waxwork model.
