Watch Sherlock Holmes Online

When Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes hits theaters this Christmas, it won’t be the same character most people are accustomed to seeing. Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law have updated the Holmes/Watson characters played in the past by Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, and London’s greatest crime solver may never be the same.

Gone are the deerstalker hat and the huge pipe, in favor of a fedora. If you’ve had a chance to watch Sherlock Holmes online, though, you no doubt have seen that the new hat works for Downey. As the world’s most portrayed movie character, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, he seems to add a more contemporary charisma to the role that is more than just the hat. Jude Law, as Dr. Watson, appears to be more of an equal to his partner than in the past. Watch Sherlock Holmes online to see what a great combination Downey, Jr. and Law make as the classic detective team. The chemistry is evident throughout the trailer, but never more so than in a clip in which the two, seated in a parlor, engage in a round of “I’m-not-touching-you” with a violin bow. Watch Sherlock Holmes online and see if you don’t love it.

Style and cosmetics aren’t the only noticeable changes you’ll see when you watch Sherlock Holmes online. Director Guy Ritchie interprets the story the way he heard it as a child. The result is a Sherlock Holmes that is right in the action. When you watch Sherlock Holmes online, you’ll see more explosions and duels with Downey than were depicted in all the past Holmes movies combined. Ritchie also weaves Holmes’ martial arts skills into this movie as told in the original stories more than previous films have.

Watch Sherlock Holmes online and you’ll see what is about to be the newest buddy film. The high action level, a more personable interaction between the characters and realistically good looks are likely to remind you of what must have been the American version of the story in West and Gordon from the Wild, Wild West.
