I thought it was fun, just not really the classic Sherlock Holmes. It felt more like Sherlock Holmes meets James Bond and Batman.
I'm going to go see it with the family tomorrow. I know it's a blockbuster version of Holmes, but from what I hear it's good.
Saw it last night, thoroughly enjoyed it. Might read some of the books although I know that they won't be anywhere near as action packed.
that movie was great
[QUOTE=Jock Strap;19226589]Excellent movie. Loved it. The fight scenes especially.[/QUOTE] [sp] The bit with the slow motion explosion was probably my favourite part of the movie. I thought it was really well done. [/sp]
Will see it before school starts again.
I was tired as fuck when I went to see it with a friend so I couldn't grasp all of it.
it was cool.
[QUOTE=JesterUK;19219268]Sherlock Holmes isn't supposed to have any fight scenes. He's a Detective not a Mercenary.[/QUOTE] In the books it says a lot of things like "and then they apprehended the suspect". All the film has done has taken this into more cinematic detail and put in interesting fight and chase scenes. [QUOTE=Majache;19219394]Damnit, Sherlock is swav, Watson is bumbling and stupid![/QUOTE] That's not the case at all. People keep expecting the modern stereotypes from this movie all the time. It only takes a moment of research to realise Watson's original character was the badass war-veteran.
How does it stack up to Snatch and Lock Stock?
Guy is stuped name AEHAEHAHHAHHEHAHH HE NAME IS DOWNEY HE IS DOWN SYNDERM
i personally hated the movie it was an insult to anyone who actually read the books and was so historically inaccurate in its depiction of victorian england that it was painful. and the main villain looks like some generic mafioso and the plot itself is what a sherlock holmes movies should never be: predictable
snatch is frankly the best movie ever

In fact, all you have done in your "review" of the film is assert what it is and what it wanted to be - a bit of fun. Beats pretentious crap like Avatar any day in my book; I'd rather a film was bad but fun, and for the film to be designed to be fun, than to watch some overly serious, poorly scripted, 3 hour-long bullshit.
[QUOTE=Brian Williams;19229776]snatch is frankly the best movie ever[/QUOTE] Snatch was a clusterfuck of awesome.
Since I've read the books, I don't think I'll see it. I like Snatch and Lock - stock, but I feel Sherlock(from the books) wouldnt do what's shown in the trailers. Sherlock would only do cases which were different and extraordinary, because his brain hungered for intellectual challenges. When he didnt have a case, he normally injected cocaine and played the violin.
Holmes for Hipsters is the vibe I get from this film.
