Who Is Sherlock Holmes A Hero
Sherlock Holmes is a truly great character in literature history. He is such a interesting character that can be brought alive from paper to film or television. Sherlock is a character that can be portrayed in many manners and each one will bring something different to this all in detective. With that being said Cumberbatch-Holmes is the best portrayal of Sherlock Holmes.
Sherlock Holmes in the movie played by Robert Downey Jr. and in the show Elementary played by Jonny Lee Miller are enjoyable and have some great takeaways but they fall short to Sherlock played by Benedict Cumberbatch. Downey-Holmes’s character is the funniest which I like it brings sort of a lightness to Sherlock which the other actors try but aren't as good at. His downfall is he is too eccentric for Sherlock. He needs to be more of a grounded character. He seems he is always running around all over the place either on drugs or alcohol. Also Sherlock doesn't strike me as a fighter I get where they're coming from but Sherlock shouldn’t be beating everyone down. Miller-Holmes is the most likeable he looks clean cut and almost a ladies man. He is edgy and modern day. I like that however he is too cocky to be Sherlock. Now all the Sherlock portrayals come …show more content…
off as cocky but Miller-Holmes almost comes off as rude and rude even to Watson.
The series Sherlock has the best portrayal of Sherlock Holmes.
Cumberbatch-Holmes has all the chops to be Sherlock. In this series he is a tamer Sherlock. He is still Sherlock but seems more like a real life Sherlock would . Cumberbatch-Holmes is in control and doesn't drive himself so crazy where it hinders his performance to solve the case. Sherlock may sometimes get in the way a little bit but he doesn't go around blowing stuff up and just making a mess everyplace. He can solve a case without the whole investigation going haywire. In the meeting with the killer he doesn't try to fight him. Although he does outsmart him it looks like a normal conversation between two men and Cumberbatch-Holmes is in control. He doesn't shoot himself in the
foot.
Cumberbatch-Holmes can doesn't have to be look after. Although he might needs some checks and balances here and there from Watson it is not like he is a kid being looked after by Watson. It almost seems like it is bigger deal for Watson to be with Sherlock than Sherlock being with Watson. There is a true doubled sided friendship developing in Sherlock. He shows some emotion when he gets saved by Watson in only a Sherlock way he appreciated the help of him and didn't throw Watson to the side like sometimes happens in the other portrayals of Holmes.
In all three portrayals of Holmes there are things that stand out and each have a different spin on the character. However Cumberbatch-Holmes shows the realness and best portrayal of Holmes.
