Adaptations, from book to screenplay are challenging. It takes a talented writer to make the final product as true as possible but also create something entertaining for the audience. I thoroughly enjoy these particular productions. Of course, when one is reading the book, one learns what each character is thinking, plus many details are also gleaned. Can't really accomplish this with video/film, it would simply be too long.
His men all around and no one sees this big guy sneak up to the house? Then he boldly stands there. Runs away at that gait and Watson can't catch that slow thing? A competing Holmes. Holmes gives Watson the damsel to rescue. lol And two little girls capture him?
great films. Though the actors who are supposed to be spanish look spanish, their accent is that of a native english speaker who learned spanish! lol. odd. . .
I CAN'T believe Holmes wouldn't have noticed the man looking in at them. He must have figured he wasn't important to the case and decided not to bother with him. After all, it's not like Holmes to miss something like THAT!
What I want to know is how come the little girls seem to be in a constant state of unbelivable happiness, and how do they play outside and keep their dresses magnificently pure white.
Still, it's cute how Watson is dragged out of his hiding spot with the little ones jumping on him.
And Holmes actually looks like he DOESNT MIND that investigator? Either A) he knows the guy is on the wrong track. or b) he's just amused that this guy is trying to be his equal in deduction. And failing.
Watson chasing the mulatto giant and the whole business with the pistols is added... and what's with Watson getting assaulted by children and drug into the house :P In the book Holmes and Baynes both independently arrived at suspecting that house by deduction, not by Watson's random adventures :D ah well. enjoyable all the same
Interesting, they show the mulatto cook creeping around while everyone is there. In the book he came around before Holmes and Baynes when there was just one policeman in possession of the house and scared him half to death :P
Give the guys a chance. Not that I'm looking forward to this new film but Robert Downey Jr who may not look at all like Holmes can certainly pull off the eccentric and intellectual side. Hmm. This is a hard generation to please. It's all violence, sex and quick cuts to prevent them from switching channels. Oh well, we'll see how it goes.
Yeah haha. Holmes is like "very good, but I'm still the master!" :P
In the book he was very gracious and complimentary toward Baynes. (not that he isn't here.) Holmes usually was toward his "official" colleagues when they did anything right :P I'm sure Baynes surprised him though by getting nearly everything right in what was a very complex case! :D
I think the new Sherlock Holmes movie will be good, but "good" only to people who've never read the book or seen Jeremy Brett as Sherlock. Couldn't they have least been true to the book and chosen an actor who at looked like Holmes? Sheesh, Jude Law would be a better Holmes than Downey, Jr. Ritchie and the producers just want to bank at the box office.
Agreed. I can't imagine what they were thinking, casting him. It doesn't help at all that Downey looks abit like the guy who played Sir Henry Baskerville in the Hound of Baskerville with Brett! I kept thinking of him. Especially since Henry was American and Downey just CAN'T do an english accent!
I love it when Watson does some of the investigating and get materially involved in Holmes work, not just chronicling sensational crimes and eccentric characters. A glimpse of what the young army doc may have been like before Afghanistan.
They are exactly like the books. In fact I keep thinking I already know what happens exactly, why am I watching. I was hoping for at least something new.
Hopefully you're watching because you enjoy the books and love the characters as they are. When we watch Hamlet, we do not expect any deviations from the text, but only skilful & understanding interpretation and portrayal.
However, with Guy Ritchie directing the new Holmes film, you may get your wish - new plot twists & a very different sort of Holmes who sports a six-pack and beats up the bad guys in Hollywood blockbuster tradition.
Guy Ritchie is directing a new Sherlock Holmes film????? Noooooooooooo!
As a massive Holmes fan that news has just spoilt my day. I can't think of anyone worse to direct it. He has a directorial touch like a sledge hammer when what Holmes needs is subtlety............imao.
