!! The First MovieSherlock Holmes



** In the first movie, yes being captured by Lord Blackwood was as bad as it sounded. Adler ended BoundAndGagged at a ''butcher hook in a slaughter house'' (at least she is just chained up to the hook and not directly put on it), alone and helpless in this horrible place until Holmes and Watson come in. And once they are here, she is slowly thrown in a trap designed to burn them alive, and if they survive to bone-saw them in half. And to add a little injure to the trauma and the physical danger, it's a dark twist of the bondage-like aspect who sometimes appear in the teasing relationship between Adler and Holmes.

** His "feral" attack on Sherlock during their mental battle of wits. Although in slow motion, you can really feel his speed and ferocity, as if Sherlock were being attacked by a bear.

** His mental battle with Holmes certainly qualifies as one of the more chilling moments of the film. Initially, Sherlock goes into his ImagineSpot, figuring out how he will respond to Moriarty's attacks. Upon noticing what he's doing, Moriarty merely smiles and ''invades his hypothetical situation, countering him blow for blow.'' The juxtaposition of Moriarty's calm, clinical analysis with his outright "feral" attack on Sherlock during their mental battle attacks that take advantage of wits. Although Holmes' injured state makes for an already dread-inducing scene. But the real payoff comes from the fact that both parties ultimately deduce there is no way for Holmes to win the outcome in slow motion, you can really feel his speed and ferocity, as if Sherlock were a straight fight, a conclusion that is punctuated by Moriarty's insincere smile at Holmes that we now know is hiding a hotbed of rage mere moments from being attacked by a bear.released.
