<p>Both Ian McKellen and the director Bill Condon are clearly in love with Sherlock Holmes' legacy, and their dedication and passion to bring something fresh to the table is apparent. And as a character drama 'Mr Holmes succeeds as one of the best of the year</p>

'Mr. Holmes'
U; Crime, Drama, Mystery
Director: Bill Condon
Cast: Ian McKellen, Laura Linney, Milo Parker, Hiroyuki Sanada
Rating: 
With the BBC series 'Sherlock' and Guy Ritchie's 'Sherlock Holmes' movies already permeating the pop culture with full force at the moment, it becomes difficult to accept yet another version of the beloved character playing out in theaters. It also becomes tough to accept that Bill Condon, the guy who made the last two 'Twilight' movies is directing this film. Fortunately, 'Mr Holmes' is a surprising little entry and a pleasant diversion in the musty stock of Hollywood.
