POTATO ON THE GO REVIEW (Movie):
For movie makers, transforming a literary classic into a movie masterpiece is always a challenge. If one follows the story page per page, he may hear reactions that it's no different from the book. 'But if he changes it dramatically, he will surely hear nasty remarks from the book fans. For me, once a book is made into a film, the director and screen writer are given the freedom to make their cinematic interpretations of the literary piece. And from the recent movie I saw, the SHERLOCK HOLMES: A GAME OF SHADOWS, during its recent Philippine premiere by Warner Bros. in Glorietta 4, I could say that the film makers are able to give an edgy execution out of a literary classic and well loved characters.
Directed by Guy Ritchie and written by Michele Mulrony and Kieren Mulroney SHERLOCK HOLMES: A GAME OF SHADOWS is an action mystery movie based on the character of the same name created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. A sequel to the 2009 film SHERLOCK HOLMES, the movie brings back Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law to reprise their roles as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson, and several other actors as characters they played in the 2009 film. The film is inspired by Conan Doyle's work The Final Problem, but it is an independent story rather than a strict adaptation and this where cinematic freedom is maximized.
