Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes

[Dolemite]

I really have to read some more of the short stories. I read a bunch when I was a kid.

Barnes and Nobles have 2 paperbacks (The complete sherlock holmes volume 1 and 2) that collect all of them together, and they're only like 8 bucks each. They're really good reads.

Damn for that price I might have to pick them up too!

I noticed little tell-tale signs here and there, but most of them could have easily been chalked up to his just being a weirdo and not a coke fiend. I think if you guys didn't know anything about the character going into the flick, you probably thought he was just eccentric (except for maybe the scene where he re-enacted the Satan-worshiping ritual- I think he was on some good shit there).

His drug habits aren't integral to the story anyway. The drugs were an excuse, or rather an explanation, in the books for his eccentricities anyway. Exposition in to how he became crazy really wasn't important to the story.

Pretty decent. Not the good old Sherlock, i grew up reading/watching, but neat re-imaging for the 2000s. Both Downey and Law did great in their parts and I got my money worth.

I saw this the other day. There was a lot of action, but I ended up having a blast with it. I wish they hadn't bothered with love interests, and the secret brotherhood/occult framework felt so typical grandiose Hollywood, but it didn't keep me from having a good time. I've been watching the old TV series with (the definitive) Jeremy Brett, and I thought Robert Downing Jr. did a great job portraying the character, as did Jude Law.

Badvocate was right that it had an awfully good soundtrack.

[Nirvana]

It wasn't bad. I wasn't expecting much out of a Guy Richie film and his bad habits did come through yet again, but it was still a decent flick to sit through. Not something to see again in a theater with crappy seats, but I wouldn't turn down free tickets.

[Finch]

This movie was a lot of fun to watch.

[Cheebs]

Fun to watch...

But as somebody who grew up only knowing Sherlock Data on the holodeck, it was not at all what I expected. And if y'all are still wondering if an outsider would catch the drug thing: No. It never even crossed my mind while watching. I assumed booze when he was really f'd up.

Anyway, not memorable but a good use of $11 none the less.
