I love sherlock holmes.

I am interested in this movie also.

I love the Doyle stories. Haven't seen much portrayal of Holmes outside of a few audio dramatizations of the Doyle stories.



I saw the film and absolutely loved it. I was underwhelmed by Avatar on so many levels (it was still an ok film but by no means Cameron's best, nor any revelation) but Sherlock Holmes was a real winner. It exceeded my high hopes!

Well, he is an interesting idea for a villain. Though the character itself mainly just scowls his way for most of the movie. Now  what the villain does and how he executes his scheme throughout the movie is very intriguing.

Sounds good. I might go to see it next week.

Trying hard to word this without spoilers -

the trailers do not do this movie justice.  They cut together sequences and dialog that are entirely misleading.

Gah, how to say this without ruining anything.

Hmmm.

Ah!

Think of the Indiana Jones films, or episodes of Brave and the Bold, or a season of Buffy or Angel.  The movie is like them - it starts in the middle of a case for Holmes, and then the thrust of the movie is about another case whilst the end sets up a new case.
Whereas the central motivation of the film is portraying the friendship between Holmes and Watson.

The villain - is adequately a challenge, and in the story more than menacingly enough.  But there's a backline to the story, kind of like a plot thread arcing across a year or more of a comic book series, that is present before the start of the film, weaves through it, and is glaringly left dangling at the end all but demanding a sequel.

Someone in this thread said that Holmes is another Star Trek.  In a certain sense, I'm very inclined to agree.

Easily one of my favorite films of the year (up with District 9 and Star Trek.)

Good stuff.
Trailer made it look like a lot of fun.

I'll see it sometime this next week or weekend. I'd completely forgotten thanks to Avatar sucking me in.

I liked the movie. It was pretty decent. Not one of Guy Ritchie's best, but it certainly wasn't his worst (RocknRolla I'm looking at you).

[whtnyte-raernst]

I loved the two movies Christopher Lee did as Holmes.

I might have to get this when it comes out on DVD.

Its not jeremy brett and for obvious reasons no longer can be, therfore this foul creation must be destroyed and never spoken of again. Do not go and see it!
