Movie Trailer: Sherlock Holmes
I haven't read all of Sherlock Holmes, but I fail to remember the one where he's fighting like a ninja and being handcuffed naked to a bed.

So, we're making Sherlock Holmes into Tony Stark with an accent?

Jude Law is Watson.

What part of this isn't freaking idiotic?





Screenwriters: Michael Robert Johnson, Anthony Peckham and Simon Kinberg (Jumper)
Director: Guy Ritchie (Snatch)
Actors: Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Rachel McAdams (Red Eye), Mark Strong (Body of Lies) and Jude Law (Sleuth)

My reaction at first. But Holmes, in the book, is rather proud of his fighting skills and there are references to battles with criminals which left him with a tooth knocked out.

SH has been done is so many ways that it's kind of late complaining now. The more or less contemporary Nigel Bruce BBC series was the definitive SH as far as the book was concerned, so if you're going to start another Holmes story you've got to move away from the book, in this case a long ways.

I might point out in it's defense, Billy Wilder's "The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes" which may not have been as outrageous as this, but was still out of left field.

I seem to be the only one alive to look forward to this movie (and still liking the SH books).
