edit: what i meant to say was... "i have no particular interest in this movie, quite the opposite, but I am very happy for those who think it might be good
Looks effing terrible. This is not Sherlock Holmes. It's...I don't even know! Some cheesy action movie or something.
People see the trailer and say, "What? This isn't Holmes!", but they fail to realize that this is a more faithful interpretation of Holmes from Doyle's stories. Anyone who would have read the earlier stories/novels would instantly recognize certain things that the general public don't associate with Holmes. He was never the gentleman that people believe him out to be. He was brilliant but he was also a proficient fighter (with weapons as well), sometimes sarcastic, a drug addict, eccentric, unliked by many because of his arrogant ego, had a cold persona (though was passionate about many things), smoked constantly, and he almost always appeared unkept and messy. Watson was never a bumbling idiot/fool that Nigel Bruce played him as. He was the one who kept Holmes in check while providing his own intellect and perspective to aid Holmes.
I hope this movie is good and a return to what Holmes really is and that people would stop bashing it when they know little or nothing about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's characters. I'd rather have an English director, Guy Ritchie, doing this movie since he (by the looks of the trailers) clearly stays true to the source material, while adding in his own touches, instead of some clueless director who probably never read a Holmes story in his/her life and would try to turn Holmes into a heartthrob teenage vampire detective or something ridiculous. You know Hollywood would do it too.
