My favorite movie is “Sherlock Holmes”. This is a movie I watched recently in cinema. It was
a very thrilling journey through time. The film was based on a novel, with the same name. Except
the great story, the actors were great. They really make you think it is happening. The main
character wasn’t like the one in novel, it was the complete opposite, his assistant Dr. Watson. Who
is very fat in the novel, isn’t showed like that. He is Sherlock’s conscience, very handsome, younger
man, just like Holmes. In the film, he is trying to prove that magic doesn’t exist and that all that
happened wasn’t because of a bad magician, and he did it. The whole movie is exciting and I didn’t
want it to end. I really liked the movie and I could watch again and again... I think that’s what
makes a great movie, when it’s every time thrilling as the first time you saw it.
