  • In 1890 London, private detective Sherlock Holmes and his partner Dr. John Watson prevent the ritualistic murder of a woman by Lord Henry Blackwood, who has killed five other young women similarly. Inspector Lestrade and the police arrest Blackwood. Three months later, Watson is engaged to Mary Morstan and moving out of 221B Baker Street; while he enjoys their adventures together, Watson looks forward to not having to deal with Holmes' eccentricities. Meanwhile, Blackwood has been sentenced to death and requests to see Holmes, whom he warns of three more unstoppable deaths that will cause great changes to the world. Blackwood is subsequently hanged.
    Holmes is visited by Irene Adler, a former adversary who asks him to find a missing man named Luke Reordan. After her departure, Holmes follows her as she meets with her secret employer, and only learns that the man is a professor and that he intimidates Adler. Meanwhile, sightings of a living Blackwood and the discovery of his destroyed tomb lead to belief that Blackwood has risen from the grave. Reordan is found dead inside Blackwood's coffin. Following a series of clues from the body, Holmes and Watson find Reordan's home and discover experiments attempting to merge science with magic. After they survive a battle with Blackwood's men who attempt to destroy the lab, Holmes is taken to the Temple of the Four Orders, a secret magical fraternity with considerable political influence. The leaders-Lord Chief Justice Sir Thomas Rotheram, U.S. Ambassador Standish, and Home Secretary Lord Coward-ask Holmes to stop Blackwood, a former member of the society and Sir Thomas's secret illegitimate son.
    That night, Sir Thomas drowns in his bath as Blackwood watches, and the next night Lord Coward calls a meeting of the Order. He nominates Blackwood to take command in place of Sir Thomas and Blackwood reveals himself to the group. Standish attempts to shoot Blackwood but bursts into flames when he pulls the trigger of his gun, and runs out a window to his death. Lord Coward issues an arrest warrant for Holmes, causing him to go into hiding. Holmes studies the rituals of the Order and recognizes their symbols in Blackwood's murders that were staged at specific locations; from this he deduces the targets of the final murder are the members of Parliament. With the aid of Lestrade, Holmes fakes his arrest and is taken to see Coward, where he uses evidence on Coward's clothes to deduce Blackwood has conducted a ceremony in the sewers beneath the Palace of Westminster.
    Holmes escapes and he, Watson, and Adler find Blackwood's men in the sewers guarding a device based on Reordan's experiments, designed to release cyanide gas into the Parliament chambers and kill all but Blackwood's supporters, whom he has secretly given an antidote. Blackwood comes before Parliament and announces their impending deaths, then attempts to activate the cyanide device by remote control, but it is disabled by Adler. Blackwood flees Parliament and sees Adler and Holmes in the sewers, and pursues them to the top of the incomplete Tower Bridge. Blackwood fights Holmes, as the latter deduces how all of Blackwood's supposed supernatural feats were the work of science and trickery. Blackwood plummets off the bridge and falls entangled in a noose of chains, killing him when the chain wrapped around his neck hangs him. Adler explains to Holmes that her employer is Professor Moriarty, and she warns that Moriarty is not to be underestimated, and "just as brilliant" as Holmes and "infinitely more devious."
    As Watson moves out of 221B, the police report to him and Holmes that a dead officer was found near Blackwood's device. Professor Moriarty used the confrontations with Adler and Blackwood as a diversion while he took a key component, based on the infant science of radio, from the machine. Holmes looks forward to the new case and new adversary.

    This is the perfect ending for this movie.
    Throughout the story, Sherlock and Watson deal with events that seem like magic, but were instead parlor tricks and chemical interactions. And right at the end when everything is revealed to be fake magic, Blackwood is spontaneously executed by a series of coincidences. Sherlock, who doesn't believe in magic, is witness to these supposedly random events. And on the last moments afteward, he must be thinking "How did it happen?", almost as if that was something more than a "Coincidence".

    Next part was simple by finding a way to break sandstone tomb in advance was impressive using ancient methods that Egyptians used for their tombs.
    Then the next phase of your plan was to kill your father by making it look like he was cursed. Which was clever using the chemical combination of copper and water that could’ve easily been washed away.

Sometimes, just sometimes, just for a moment, ignorance can be bliss, and being tricked can be beautiful. Why rationalise what is meant to bedazzle you ?

    Blackwood is not as strong as moriarty as moriarty has equal skill and intelligence as shelock holmes so sherlock will face his equal match

      The thing you have to ask yourself is did Moriarty survive the fall along with Sherlock Holmes

    Are rituals really magic or what?

      Yes and no. While blackwood performed all the rituals perfectly. everything he did can be explained by science, or simply bribing people.

      It's left up to the viewer's decision.
      All of Blackwood's murders and tricks have a scientific logic, most of which Holmes just gave.
      But throughout the movie there are hints and nods that there might some truth to this magic.
      For example, when at the start of the movie Holmes and Watson interrupt Blackwood's attempted ritualistic murder, a sudden gale of wind came and blew out all the candles, despite them being underground.
      Whenever Blackwood performed a murder after his faked death, a crow suddenly appeared which was then again present for Blackwood's death.
      Speaking of which, that was an incredible coincidence, to not only be interrupted just as he was about to kill Holmes with the axe-head but also be hanged like he was supposed to at his trail. Holmes did say "You better hope it's nothing but superstition as you performed all the rituals perfectly." and "The devil's due a soul I say."
      So while the rituals technically didn't didn't help with the murders, Blackwood's own death might have been supernaturally caused.

    Sherlock basically sums up all his fraud acting

    There are a few things wrong with this scene:
    1 Sherlock had no clues with which to deduce that Blackwood had paid the guard. Added to which the man was taken to "the infirmary" so they would have easily found nothing wrong with him had they checked which they obviously should have.
    2: if the "mixture of egg and honey" was "designed to be washed away by the rain." then Blackwood just got lucky with the rain. Additionally, the coffin we saw Reordan in was obviously airtight, and the police didn't mention that it was not the same coffin as the one Blackwood was in, and even if it had been the tomb itself was airtight. Blackwood should have suffocated in it before he got out.
    3: Sherlock wasn't there when the American ambassador died, so he couldn't have known about the "rigged bullet", nor could deduced that Blackwood had used "the same chemical compound" on the wharf. All the public, who weren't the members of the order who were present at the time he burst into flames, were aware of was that he'd burnt and fell, so the newspaper wouldn't have revealed anything to him. The stuff in Reordan's laboratory wouldn't have been enough for him to make the deduction.
    4: there is no "antidote" to cyanide gas, even if it had been "refined in the bellies of swine".
    5: none of this explains the constant appearance of the raven/crow.
    6: none of this explains how Blackwood was able to get that woman in the crypt to nearly stab herself.
    7: how the hell did Blackwood get above Irene in the place he dropped from so quietly and in the short time available to him?
    Look I get it: this is fiction, it's very spectacular, very flashy, very thrilling, very action-packed, very musical, very....well... American.
    But honestly, as a detective movie, this is a stupid mess.

      1. Considering it's implied the cult has influence over the police it's not too far out there to assume there was some sort of deal going on there
      2. he could of just watched the weather idk exactly what time period this is set in but I'm sure they had TV if not at least weather detecting technology
      3. seeing the use of it in the explosion and the testing in the lab it may of just been an educated guess on his part
      4. you got me there lol
      5. to represent death
      6. maybe the ritual actually did work? or blackmail that if she didn't stab herself something bad would happen, however you are correct that this wasn't explained
      7. again you got me there

      4. Antidotes to cyanide include hydroxocobalamin and sodium nitrite and sodium thiosulfate.

      Hear me out
      1. Well let's be real they ain't got a procedure to check posession and medicine sucks at that time. Doubt they fan actually verify whether or not he was posessed
      2. Have you considered he could've been out of the tomb the whole time ?
      3. I mean, think about it a sec. A person uses a specific compound that just so happens to perfectly fit that one other murder they made ? Also, I mean, the gun set off the fire and didn't shoot an actual bullet, so it's an easy deduction to say the bullet was rigged
      4. Fun fact, there is a way to cure cyanide poisoning through a specific type of charcoal and some other stuff. Also, he could've just thought he found an antidote and assumed "eh, good enough".
      5. "Lotsa birds today, innit, mate ? Must be bloody Satan at it again !" That's what you sound like. No, birds aren't proof of paranormal.
      6. Hear me out, some drugs make you EXTREMELY susceptive to suggestion. An example is scopolamine, I believe ?
      7. Like, idk, maybe he just runs faster and knows the place better.
      And that's what acurrently sleep-deprived teenager with average intelligence could figure out. Now imagine sherlock bloody holmes.
      Think about how you could be wrong before assuming you are right and then you can start yapping about
