Sherlock Holmes

[Hard2Fit]

Hmmh.
Could be good.

 

[DocHolliday]

I want it to be good, but I thought the trailer looked woeful.

I don't think the trailer looks too bad. It was a real mixed bag, the tied to the bed joke is so so so inane and god do I hate Jude Law but I know I wasn't the only person who laughed at the sight of Downey Jr. holding the small hammer across from the giant. I want to like this film, Guy Ritchie needs to...you know...stop sucking.

Holmes without cocaine is not Holmes.

 

[odoreater]

Btw, the character Gregory House on House is modelled after Sherlock Holmes.

Their last names: Holmes (think Homes) and House
Their best friend: Watson and Wilson
Their address: 221B Baker and apartment 221B
Their addiction: cocaine and vicodin
Their ability to deduce things about people just by looking at them.
Lazy when not working on something that intrigues them.

Just thought I'd throw that out there in case some Holmes fans have not gotten into House.

Preview makes it seem too "big," too "grand," too frenetic to be true to the spirit of Holmes.

Besides,

/thread.

That series was good. The Guy Ritchie movie sucks ass, yeah I can tell from the preview.

I wouldn't mind big, grand and frenetic if done properly, but I'm not interested in big, grand, frenetic and dumb.

 

[Manton]

Well, the trailer made it seem like a typical action/comedy, just using Holmes as a fig leaf.

 

[itsstillmatt]

Jeremy Brett was just perfect. As much as I like Holmes, and am happy to reread many of the stories, I have no interest in seeing this movie.

 

[Neo_Version 7]

But....but Rachel McAdams <33.

I kept picturing this movie.

 

[dkzzzz]

Next time It is Tweedledee VS Tweedledum and next time it is the ultimate ! The Final : Tweedledum VS. Tweedledee. But wait there is more order now and we include The ultimate....

Are people really that dumb to watch the same 5 guys fight each other over and over and over?

I see your Holmes, and I'll raise you:

Will still watch the Ritchie film, despite the apparent lack of Holmes spirit.

Looks like shite.
Totally misses the point of Holmes. No subtly or atmosphere.
