ok so Guy Ritchie has got hold of.. Sherlock Holmes

Nah, nowhere near that bad.

If they had tried to do a Steampunk/Graphic novel/mystery/adventure set in Victorian England, I might very well have liked it. When they tried overlay Sherlock Holmes into the mix they lost me.

Do something new and interesting and you'll have me.

Fuck with an old standard and I'm gone.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Reminds me of this. . . .



Except they didn't mean it to be a joke.

I thought it was shit. The film had no idea what it was trying to be and just wandered around with a silly plot filling the short gaps between un-required action scenes.

Just come back from seeing it - was ok but nothing more, enjoyed RDJ's part but that's more because I have a bit of a crush on him. More than anything however got put in a very grumpy mood by the trailer for the remake of Edge of Darkness, fucking heresy

I saw it and managed to fall asleep halfway through. It looked like they were pulling in all sorts of Steampunk elements into the art direction. They managed to drag everything interesting about Sherlock Holmes into a back alley and ass-rape it repeatedly

I sort of felt like that. At the end, I'm sitting there sort of numb, and the credits come up, and there it is: GUY RITCHIE.

Explains everything, I thought.

It does. No one who'd marry Madonna could have taste.

Unfortunately, IMDB is already listing an as yet unnamed sequel.

For fuck's sake (re. the sequel)

 

[QueenOfGoths]

I think we may be doing an orange Wednesday on thie tomorrow - well this or Avatar. RDJ is swaying it for me against the blue meanies at the moment.

 

[Onket]

I'm quite looking forward to the sequel.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I'm quite looking forward to the sequel.

I name thee 'Troll'

 

[Onket]

Maybe a bit.

But as I said at the top of the last page, it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be and truthfully I think the people slagging it off are going a bit too far really.

I will watch the sequel, but I won't be queuing overnight or anything.

 

[rutabowa]

I think it will be a bit better than i think it will be but not good enough for me to go and actually see it.
