Not one gay innuendo between I and Watson. He wasn't even in the trailer. Also Robert Downy Jr. doesn't look one thing like me.
didnt see the trailer posted here.

Can't wait!
haha Looks good.
RDJ is gold right now.
I really, REALLY hate that they're making me wait until Christmas.
i have no idea why they are calling this Sherlock Holmes.
I think I have a clue.
That looks fun.
It looks like it will be good. RDJ has really hit it big since Iron Man. It's amazing to think that he was a struggling drug addict not long ago.
Cool! Definitely a must see. But it will take ages for that to enter European cinemas.
I'm not sure which trailer is more awful, this one or GI Joe.
Seriously, this looks like total .
Really enjoyed the Angels and Demons movie. Am also currently reading the Sherlock Holmes collection.
Hopefully, Robert Downey Junior pulls this off well.
Well, then don't waste your money on it.
Someone told me the series House is based on Sherlock Holmes. I thought that was interesting.
I'm not planning on it.Well, then don't waste your money on it.
Anyone go see it yesterday? Reviews are mixed so far. I think the wife and I are going to check it out this afternoon.
I saw it. Pretty much as expected. Solid action movie with plenty of funny moments.
Robert Downey Jr. might be worth seeing, but I have a feeling Guy Ritchie's involvement will make me want to puke.
Since when Watson is a playboy?
I'm going tomorrow night. Was looking forward to this one.
Just can't talk RDJ seriously in his high-vocabulary smarter than life roles. Put a freakin crack pipe in his mouth at least. If they were going to change the sherlock holmes persona might as well sub in a crack pipe for the tobacco pipe. The character would be more organic.
No change needed. Sherlock Holmes as written by Arthur Conan Doyle, was addicted to cocaine at one point. That's actually being true to the character...and yes, he is in this movie.
Robert Downy Jr was a great choice for Homes and Tony Stark because they had addictions, like Downey himself. He does well in those roles because he can just play himself more or less.
It's a good movie. Probably a little too much of an action movie and not enough of a mystery but overall it's an fairly entertaining movie.
Yeah I was just thinking about that, and how he might be getting annoying with his super witty, fast talking characters that might be funny, but are in no way realistic. He's kinda the 40-something male equivalent of Juno.
You just described Sherlock Holmes to a T. That's why Downey is a good choice.
Sherlock Holmes isn't realistic, but I'm pretty sure that if he had lived, he's come off as a colossal narcissitic arrogant ass drug addict to anyone who knew him.
The only thing about this movie that really goes away from the classic depiction of Holmes is that he is an asskicker who uses his deductive ability to figure out the weaknesses of the person he is fighting, but it honestly makes sense and it's not really that far removed from the literary depiction of the character. In the literary depiction he was a fairly good fighter in different forms of fighting, they just never showed it in the movies.
And it may seem unrealistic for a 45 year old guy to be in that kind of shape, but that actually is Downey's 45 year old body in those fight scenes, dude is ing ripped. And I think he is actually a blackbelt now or something like that in Wing Tsun.
Downey is exactly like you think he will be in this movie...however, I don't think that makes hkm a bad choice to play Sherlock Holmes, I think it makes him a good choice to play Sherlock Holmes.
He was an arrogant ass drug addict in love with his own brilliance.

It was pretty good. The movie was well put together and the character development of Holmes was very well done. He and Jude Law also had nice on screen chemistry. His reasoning out how he was going to beat the out of the person in front of him was a nice touch.
