New Sherlock Holmes Movie

[Digitarii]

Saw it today. I thought it was great fun. The acting and cinematics were above and beyond what I was expecting. I got a heavy sense of Deja Vu because it was very reminiscent of From Hell.

Saw it today. I've always been a big Rathbone fan, but as I have long since given up hope on him making abnother film, this really was a pleasant surprise. I enjoyed this version.

What in that it was set in turn of the century (or just before) London? Don't see from hell in there at all mate. It's a period film.

Anyway... saw it today, as a third choice (avatar and book of eli full), enjoyed it alot, especially the signature Richie slowmo pieces. Also enjoyed the martial arts elements, (with RDJr studying Jeet Kun Do and Jun Fan Wing Gung, (my own martial art of choice too!) and the nod from Arthur Conen Doyle to Holmes using a westerised martial art) nicely deduced and fluidly implemented.

Add to that the characterisation of Holmes and the affable likeable Dr Watson heres to the sequel!

I saw it just after Christmas and enjoyed it. 

Holmes is more action man than any previous representation but Downey is a very charismatic actor and carries it off well.

The only thing that peeves is the obvious sequel intro (Moriarty)

The normal decline into mediocrity beckons, methinks. 

But I would gladly pay again to see the Sign of the Four (always my favourite story) with these two in it.

Loved every single minute of it     

Law almost passed himself off as a resonable actor but since he wasn't in it as much as I thought... it don't matter 

A very good film all round and I really liked Holmes' way of 'pre-thought' in a situation, very well done.

I think someone mentioned before about building a half complete Tower Bridge... Hmm... I'm thinking that aswell 

cheers

Yep couldn't agree more.

Now Tower Bridge, yum, yum. 

Away you go Bibbly San

I have to recant and agree. I thought it was quite original in some aspects.

I loved it, but Holmes has changed! Guns and kung fu boxing, wow.

Looking forward to seeing Mycroft as a Bazooka toting smackhead!

Seriously I loved it, but would has liked to see real magic!

It got my vote. It was one of those few films recently where I saw it was coming to an end and wished it would go on longer.

That does not happen often these days!

Rattling good stuff and I am looking forward to a sequel.

Me too, hope it lives up to expectations!

Saw the Wolfman trailer, looks good too...

[Mad Doc Morris]

Maybe a late one, having just returned from the cinema. As many others here I enjoyed it a lot. Great acting from Downey and Law, seemingly had a lot of fun. Also a great sense for atmosphere and, as Hammers said, "quite original in some aspects": slomo-fighting and retelling some scenes from another angle to mention but the best.
The story itself and some scenes (e.g. sinking the ship) were maybe a bit over the top, but still decent - the more when compared with other recent movies.

All in all, great fun, and I'm really looking forward to the next Downey/Law show.
By the way, I feel an urgent need for a bowler hat...

I liked it too. Thought it was very refreshing not to see Holmes as a posh egghead; Downey Jr's English accent was arguably better than Jude Law's (only joking!), the backgrounds were great and left me with a buch of VSF ideas, but I thought Mark Strong as a slightly futuristic (a bit 1920s I thought) leather-clad neo-fascist baddie was the most awesome bit. Someone should give him Richard III to play; he'd be great at it.
