Elementary, my dear Watson aka Sherlock Holmes - The Movie
blanktom:
So there's THIS
Robert Downey Jr. seemed a weird choice to me at first, I've not actually heard him try and English accent before, but it seems pretty good. Jude Law is fitting as Watson I guess, but he tends to be a bit wooden sometimes, and that could let it down.
To be frank, I probably won't go and see this at the cinema because it is essentially the whole 'lets make a comic book film' mindset extended to classic british literature. I just figured I'd bring it to the table for discussion because I was a little surprised nobody had seen this yet.
Theriandros:
Truth be told, I think I would find this movie much more interesting if the lead actors had the roles switched, though this is mostly because I see Jude Law as being better able to perform as Holmes, rather than Downey Jr. as Watson.
StaedlerMars:
Just going to point out that this movie has already been talked about. But, I think we've concluded that it's okay to start new threads if it isn't on the front page anymore. So I'm just listing it as reference.
I'll go see this movie.

I would agree now, but back when Downey was still on drugs, he would have made a fantastic Holmes. I'm also slightly sad that they took out the drugs, because I think it's kind of integral to Holmes' character.

I don't trust Guy Ritchie with Sherlock Holmes. Not at all. I actually think I'd rather gouge my eyes out than pay money to see this. And I totally trust a group of three writers where 2 of done almost nothing and another wrote Jumper, X-Men: The Last Stand, and XXX: State of the Union. Oh and it's an AWESOME idea to make Sherlock Holmes into an action film. Yeah, definitely avoiding the hell out of this one. There already was a Sherlock Holmes, his name was Jeremy Brett. Go watch his stuff, it's way freaking better than anything else on Holmes.
