Watch the new Sherlock Holmes trailer to see Robert Downey Jr. (brilliant casting!) as Holmes, Jude Law as Watson, and Rachel McAdams as the token love interest in action. And by action, I mean explosions, fist fights, and leaping from tall buildings. Hopefully the movie is more cerebral than it appears here, but either way, I can't wait to find out. Also, watch for a Pancks (Eddie Marson/Little Dorrit) cameo! --KIM
I LOVE the ending. Hilarious. Methinks "cerebral" won't be one of the top descriptions of this film. Honestly, if it weren't for the fantastic cast (LOVE, LOVE, LOVE RDJ), I'd be slightly miffed at this rather cheeky take on Mr. Holmes. Can't wait to see it!
ReplyDeleteYeah, put me in the slightly disheartened camp. Love RDJ, but this is over-the-top testoserone-packed. Well, I'll keep an open mind, and if this doesn't fit the bill, there's still the Will Ferrell, Sasha Baron Cohen version.
ReplyDeleteat risk of overdoing the comment thing..I also have to ask, what's up with the random fight scene? Is it for the sole purpose of giving us a glimpse of RDJ's naked and nicely toned upper body? I wonder if they plan to address Holmes cocaine addiction...I'm beginning to envision a Victorian-era Fight Club meets Trainspotting meets Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
ReplyDeleteI would see it just for RDJ. Love the end.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that they will include the cocaine addiction--and I bet there will also be an opium den scene.
ReplyDeleteAnd perhaps a syphilis allusion. Love the syphilis glasses!
ReplyDeleteNot your average Sherlock Holmes but it looks like fun. Mom
