After finally catching serial killer and occult "sorcerer" Lord Blackwood, legendary sleuth Sherlock Holmes and his assistant Dr. Watson can close yet another successful case. But when Blackwood mysteriously returns from the grave and resumes his killing spree, Holmes must take up the hunt once again. Contending with his partner's new fiancée and the dimwitted head of Scotland Yard, the dauntless detective must unravel the clues that will lead him into a twisted web of murder, deceit, and black magic - and the deadly embrace of temptress Irene Adler.

Trivia
Colin Farrell was in talks to play Watson before Jude Law was cast.
The first Sherlock Holmes film to reach U.S. movie theaters in over twenty years, since the 1988 comedy Without a Clue (1988) with Michael Caine as Reginald Kincaid/"Sherlock Holmes".
Robert Maillet accidentally knocked out Robert Downey Jr. while filming a fight scene.
Robert Downey Jr. read many Sherlock Holmes stories and watched "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" (1984) by Granada Television (starring Jeremy Brett) in order to learn more about the character.
Sienna Miller was in talks for a role before her ex-fiancé Jude Law was cast as Watson.
The song that plays from 1:03 to the end on the second trailer is a piece called "Unstoppable" by the group E.S. Posthumus (specifically 1:47 to the end on the track).
The set for Sherlock Holmes's home in this film was previously used as Sirius Black's home in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007).
The part of Sherlock Holmes has been previously played by Michael Caine, while Watson is played in this film by Jude Law. Law took over Caine's role in Alfie (2004) and Sleuth (2007), appearing together with him in the latter film.
There were rumors that Brad Pitt has been cast as Moriarty and re shoots have taken place, but the rumors were quickly denied.
Guy Ritchie's first film not to be Rated R in the US.
Guy Ritchie's first film to be rated 12 in his native country U.K.
The outfits worn by the navvies are the same ones worn by the railway workers in "Cranford: Part One: August 1844 (#2.1)" (2009).
Delivered to some theaters under the fake title "Elementary Education".
Watson's line to Holmes, "You know that what you're drinking is for eye surgery," is an obscure reference to Holmes's cocaine usage. At the time, cocaine was used as a topical anesthetic for eye surgery. In the stories, Holmes injects cocaine.
In the scene where Holmes first meets Watson's fiancé, Watson is wearing a black, fabric-strip adorned jacket modeled on a famous family portrait of Nicholas II of Russia taken during his 1896 visit to Osbourne in England.
The first scene in Baker Street is a nod to Granada Television's "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" (1984) series, starring Jeremy Brett. In the scene, the camera focuses on a "Baker Street" street sign, then tracks backward down the street and over a clopping horse pulling a carriage. This same camera shot and angle - with the overhead tracking shot over a horse and carriage - was used to reveal Baker Street in the opening credits sequence of the Granada TV series.
Holmes says the United States chose the eagle as their national symbol over 100 years ago. The bird was chosen in 1782, which sets the film after 1882. He also mentions radio, a term that coined in 1897. The original Sherlock Holmes stories spanned a period from 1875 to 1907.
At the end of the film, Mary asks Watson if she could read his journals of his adventures with Sherlock Holmes. Of the 60 Doyle penned stories of Sherlock Holmes, all but four have Watson serving as the narrator.
Although Irene Adler plays a large role in the movie, she only appears in one Sir Arthur Conan Doyle story, "A Scandal in Bohemia", briefly referenced in the movie.
The story "His Last Bow" mentions that Holmes practiced shooting his pistol by putting VR (Victoria Regina) on his wall with bullet holes. In the movie, Holmes shoots VR in the wall in his room with a gun.
The four symbols referred to in the movie, the Man, the Lion, the Ox and the Eagle, are also attributed to the four Evangelists of the Bible: Matthew (Man), Mark (Lion), Luke (Ox), and John (Eagle).
Rachel McAdams and Robert Downey Jr. reportedly did most of their own stunts.
Attempting to escape the clutches of wearing a tight corset every morning, Rachel McAdams would trick the costumers by pushing her stomach out or eating a big breakfast of oatmeal before being laced up. However, they eventually caught on to her ruse.
Before the scene where Sherlock Holmes reenacts the black magic ceremony, we see a brief shot of an Inn called The Punch Bowl. The Punch Bowl is the name of Guy Ritchie's pub in Mayfair, London.
The letters "VR", visible throughout the film, stand for "Victoria Regina," the Royal Cypher (monogram) of Queen Victoria, who ruled England at the time.
The name of Holmes and Watson's English bulldog is Gladstone. He seems to be named after William E. Gladstone, four times Prime Minister under Queen Victoria. A Gladstone is also a type of bag, named after the man, which was sometimes used by doctors in this period to carry their medical equipment.
Guy Ritchie has stated in interviews that he is a fan of (and a practitioner) Brazilian Jujitsu, made popular in mixed martial arts. Towards the end of the movie Holmes and Watson fight Dredger and finally manage to subdue him with an arm-bar and a modified rear naked choke, both popular Brazilian Jujitsu submissions.
At one point, Holmes drinks something that Watson notes is meant "for eye surgery." In the Sherlock Holmes novel "The Seven-Per-Cent Solution," Watson laments that the cocaine mixture that Holmes was addicted to was originally meant for eye surgery.
The three murders of the men and the attempted murder of Parliament coincide with the four Greek elements. The first was a burial crime scene (Earth), second was poisoning (water), third was immolation (fire), and fourth was poison gas (air).

Buna la toti! Pare rau ca inca n-am reusit sa-l privesc dar cred ca saptamina asta recuperez...
In rest am privit multe variante al acestui personaj, am si citit si cartile (nu pe toate din pacate). Din pacate nu cred ca versiunea ruseasca cu Ливанов a reusit sa redee intru totul acele inchipuiri pe care ti le creezi citind cartea.
Sunt increzut ca tandemul dintre asa un regizor ca Guy Ritchie si un actor precum Robert Downey Jr. au creat intradevar ceva ce merita de privit.
In rest cum dau si eu ochii cu dinsu-l imi exprim parerea.
me in fan list please
Apropo daca tot veni vorba de Dorian Gray, cartea merita intru totul de citit, filmul mai putin, o data pentru cunostinta (IMHO)
