Scott Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Anyone seen it yet? Just put it on just now and so far I am really enjoying it. I don't really remember many of the Sherlock movies so can't say what I think about the character differences but I'm really liking this version. The fact that he can fight is interesting in itself, he intellectually wins a fight before it begins which is a nice twist. Disturbed genius is the only way I could describe him and, in reality, it is exactly how I would expect someone of his intellect to be. Won't bother with a review, I'll just post back with a yay or nay opinion once it's finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 It's a yay, thoroughly enjoyed it. Clever enough to let you wonder but open enough to let you guess enough to keep you interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradleyh_15 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I agree scott was a very enjoyable watch keept you guessing and I think the two main characters played well off each other and the supporting cast was well chosen! fingers crossed for more but not ruining them!

AlexM Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I found it to be a complete load of tosh, unfortunately. If you're anything of a fan of Sherlock Holmes.. don't bother. If the seats were a little less uncomfortable in the cinema I would have fallen asleep.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jdwals Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Gotta give this one a big thumbs up - very enjoyable movie. Thought Downey Jr. was great cast as Holmes and Jude Law didn't put in a bad performance either. Rachael McAdams is always a pleasure to watch too! It's not going to win any awards but as an entertaining way to spend an hour or two in a cold January evening - I'd recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the seats were a little less uncomfortable in the cinema I would have fallen asleep.. That is the one thing that would have worried me about making this movie. It doesn't appear to be anything like the Sherlock Holmes that I remember. It is a bit like unmasking Iron Man and finding Poirot under there.

That is basically what I thought of it. It is a good fun movie, as long as you don't go in with any expectations I think anyone would enjoy it.

From what I can gather, the Richie film is truer to the books than some of its predecessors were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 From what I can gather, the Richie film is truer to the books than some of its predecessors were. Very possible. All I remember is the odd snip of a movie and Hound of the Baskervilles so I can't comment on.... well... anything to do with Sherlock Holmes. The character in the movie is fantastic for me. He perfecty represents the toils of boredom that come along with genius. I like to think that, if he could, Stephen Hawking would be a cracking cage fighter.

Bobbeh Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I enjoyed it, certainly a different twist on the stereotypical Sherlock image we're used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
