Holmes

Originally published at Flametoad. You can comment here or there.

I’m pretty sure that with the “real” Sherlock Holmes, we weren’t treated to bare knuckle boxing, massive explosions, or having sex with hotties. I’m also pretty sure I don’t care. I still want to see the new movie!

In fact, they probably haven’t gone far enough. I want to see Sherlock Holmes in a steampunk Iron Man suit team up with Van Helsing to fight vampires or Lovecraftian cultists and demons. Bring it on!

Also, I know director Guy Ritchie is panned by a lot of people–after all, he married Madonna–but Snatch remains one of my top 20 favorite movies of all time.

Hm....conflicted. For 'true' Holmes, we have Jeremy Brett (the best so far IMHO). This Holmes? Crazy. But, if you go into it thinking that no-one is claiming ACD authenticity here, then why the h3ll not? I very much liked 'Murder by Decree' and enjoyed 'Young Sherlock Holmes', but if I want 'authentic', then I should do what anyone who wants TRUE Holmes should do: read the stories.
At least they are keeping in the spirit, if not greatly amped out....they don;t cut across the 'grain' so to speak. errr... Land of the Lost remake?
