Watch me take over your thread.

Now change the title to a porn video name and see how many views we can get.

Nice try. :laugh:

I know it won't tw when it's already been taken over by someone but pushing the op the the 3rd poster or so is always fun.

I agree... although I like Jeremy Brett as Holmes too.

Plus I can't imagine a Sherlock Holmes action movie... which is what this looks like to me.

It looks stupid. I had high hopes for this movie too. Sherlock Holmes is not an action hero. I think they're going to rely too much on Bruce Willis type action rather than complex detective storytelling, which is a shame.

Miscasting and it's a popcorn flick. Holmes is supposed to be something else.

Lame.

Absolutely horrible. Holmes was every inch the Victorian Gentleman in all of his public dealings. His ability to always appear with clothing that was clean and pressed and to maintain himself as cleanshaven is mentioned explicitly several times in the books. Whoever the man portrayed in that movie may be, he is certainly not Sherlock Holmes.

Bloody impostors.

Is this movie based on one of SACD's works, or is it a piece of shit some Holly wood hack came up with and put Sherlock Holmes on it hoping for a box office hit?

I believe it's the latter. I haven't read all the SH stories, but don't recall anything similar to what's depicted in the trailer.
