@NXproductions Pff, idiotic critics who think they know Sherlock holmes! I have read all the books more than 2 times atleast, and I couldnt say that robert downey JR. could have done a better job!

@leechchill Robert Downey was a poor choice for Holmes. How'd they keep him off drugs? Give me Basil as Sherlock.

If you like Batman and Robin...great visuals... Typical Hollywood treatment..dis-combobulated story-line...great villians...Kenneth, cough up the hair-ball ; )

It's hilarious to me, a guy who's read the first two novels and anthologies, when someone says THIS Holmes isn't like the books. They're obviously comparing it not to the books, but to those God-Awful Basil Rathbone movies THAT DIDN'T EVEN GET THE PERIOD RIGHT AND MADE WATSON A JACKASS. Rather, a lot of what's glossed over in the stories (by a too-kind Watson) is studied more in-depth here (Holmes substance abuse, for example; you can tell in one scene he's been shooting coke).
I thought the movie was great, my favorite part being Holmes' casual and flawless summation of everything that Blackwood had done, completely pissing on all his "supernatural" shit. The music is also one of my favorite parts, "the Rocky Road to Dublin" was a great choice of song.
Oh, and Watson suddenly being really sexy doesn't hurt either :)

I've watched the movie. it's great and out of my expectation. No surprise that Robert got the award of best actor for his work here. Just one thing, is it me or the movie somehow tried to suggest that there's a gay relationship between Holmes & Watson? I kinda getting the message between the lines...
