Elementary, my dear Watson - I deduced that he needed a good ol' fashioned arse kicking!

Yep, for this new version of the great detective, talk about a different approach! In this one, you dont fuck with Holmes and Watson. I wouldn't be surprised if at the climax of the movie, Holmes gives the Hound of the Baskervilles a kick to the nuts!

Looks like what happens when america takes a shot at Holmes. And I like it. :3 Will make a sharp difference to the classic TV series based on Holmes, that was pretty good for the time.

Doesnt beat Sherlock Holmes in the 24th Century cartoon though, lol

Considering it's directed by Guy Ritchie, and the studio is Village (Australian), I'd go with doing a bit of research before you consider big-budgeted films to all be from Hollywood :P

I guess I should rephrase that. It looks like what happens when America takes Holmes.

Either way it looks good.

Oh, wow, this looks even more bonkers than I had imagined it.

I mean, Sherlock Holmes was always a badass if you read the original stories. But this just takes it over the top. And should be fun. We'll see.

The best Sherlock Holmes adaptation in years is House. But this could be good. I'd like to see Watson as the smart guy he was meant to be.

Huh? Was there a trailer? I was too busy looking at the young lady in a corset.

<rewatches>

Ha looks promising actually. Liked the bit with the hammers and Downey Jr is always good.

Certainly a different take from the old adaptation that reruns on ITV2.

I may have to see this.
