Sherlock Holmes

[Blitz]

Guy Ritchie's take on the character, with Robert Downey, Jr. as Holmes and Jude Law as Watson, has a trailer.

I'm not a die-hard Holmes fan or anything but there has to be an "It's elementary, Watson" line.

Im a huge fan of Sherlock Holmes and after watching the trailer Im hoping that this isnt more action than intellectual.

[OssMan]

I shocked Sherlock

Watt, son?

[Nowhere Man]

I never really read any of Doyle's books, so I have no idea if this is even the slightest bit faithful to them. By itself, though, I'm interested.

Based on that trailer this looks terrible. They've gone and made it into an action oriented movie, which Sherlock Holmes is not. As great of an actor as Downey Jr. is, he is not right for the role of Sherlock Holmes.

Haha Kurrgan's in the trailer

I can't get that link to work for me right now, but I :heart: Sherlock Holmes. So of course I will watch this.

It got me past my GCSE in English when I wrote a whole Thesis on how Holmes uses his process of elimination etc. to sort mystery's out. I wanted to do a Scooby Doo one, but teacher didn't have any of it. Claß though as I pretty much did it in 2 days and we had 6 weeks to prepare and complete it all. But I was such a Jeremy Brett fan, I think i knew Holmes inside out.

If this goes tits up it HAS to be the end of Guy Ritchie right?

[deathtrap]

I thought RockNRolla did well?

Find the trailer then, this one seems to shit all over the whole premise of the Holmes character.

Can't remember where I read it, but isn't Sherlock Holmes meant to be a talented crack addict? Yeah, I think Robert Downey, Jr. will play him just fine.

[deathtrap]

Cocaine and morphine

The last line is hilarious. Downey is great, but the trailer isn't very exciting. It looks pretty lame. LXG-esque.

[The Gold Standard]

I think it looks great. I can't wait to see it

If they weren't molding it into an action film.

not really it was never once uttered in a Doyle novel

[thedamndest]

In that case you can probably rest assured it will be in the movie.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Guy Ritchie was pretty much a one hit wonder. Other than that, he is shit. jude law is shit also. meh to this film.
