    New Sherlock Holmes flick..

    Saw the preview for this before HBP - normally I'd have been like w/e but it caught my attention because the director is Guy Ritchie.. I'm not expecting anything on the level of Snatch or Two Smoking Barrels, tho I'm thinking it will still be decent storytelling and plenty of craziness at the very least.

    The trailer certainly made it look good, it's likely I'll see this while in theaters.

    The trailer made it look really entertaining although I hope it literally doesn't do slow motion punches every 5 seconds. Enough slow motion effects.

    As a movie, it should be entertaining just because RDJ is that good.

    As a Sherlock Holmes story...it's going to be complete ass.

    Guy Ritchie has been crap for a long time, hopefully getting away from the cockney crime shit will be good for him.

    Not sure what you're smoking, Rock N Rolla was very good imo.

    It was distinctly mediocre.
    He's only gone downhill since lockstock.

    New info posted today that Ritchie is making Holmes/Watson homosexuals or their relationship leaning more towards that.

    Not sure of all the information but you can google/bing it and you can read for yourself.

    Were they like that in ANY of the previous whatever they had?

    Not trying to flamebait or anything, just curious seeing how I have no knowledge of Holmes and Watson.

    Jokes aside, I am a bit mad about this. I have no problem with a movie about homosexuals, but I think taking classic characters and turning them gay is wrong. Not because being gay is wrong, but because they're classic literary figures. If Batman was gay for Robin, or Kirk for Spock, or Oliver Twist for the Artful Dodger or anything of the sort there would be rioting in the streets. Just my personal opinion and if that makes me a 'bigot' so be it.

    I saw it today I thought it was pretty damn good. I'd like to see it again with subtitles because I'm not used to hearing a British accent.
