Rehab Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 (edited) My dad is an OG Holmes fan. Laughed his ass off. Edited July 24, 2009 by Rehab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fëanen Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 ...He looks more like House, which just doesn't work for me in spite of the latter character being influenced by Holmes. I'm sporadically working my way through the Holmes canon in chronological order, and assuming that the character isn't totally changed in the latter half of the series (which I can't believe)...this feels wrong. It's Sherlock Holmes gone 20th Century Hollywood, and even if it somehow turns out to be a decent story in its own right it simply can't coincide with my view of the character (influenced solely by the books, since I've never seen more than twenty seconds of any adaptation).

Rehab Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 (edited) I misunderestimated my chances of making 2 spelling mistakes in one title. Leaving for posterity. Come to think, of it, reverting to original title. Edited July 24, 2009 by Rehab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau of Isaac Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Robert Downey Jr. is playing as Sherlock. I am contented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kedyns Crow Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I'm not going to judge the movie until I see it. I do predict it will be good though. Downy Jr. has been on a role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defeatist Elitist Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Oh my god, I had just heard "Darker and more sophisticated" and had never actually bothered to watch the trailer. This is AMAZING. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehab Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 (edited) The problem is I'm not sure I would use "sophisticated" to describe the trailer Considering the actors, "entertaining," yeah, but I don't even know Edited July 28, 2009 by Rehab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
