It reminded me of Pirates of the Carribean at some bits.

I still can't believe Robert Downey Jr. is playing Holmes. It will be a bit weird, imo.

Looks good.

And, IMO, Hugh Laurie might be good as Holmes. He was brilliant as House, which is a somewhat similar role.

Reading about it wikipedia, I saw that a lot of House is based of of Sherlock Holmes.

I think it looks really good...I'll be seeing it. I wish Hugh Laurie was playing him too.

It's nothing like any Sherlock Holmes story, but it looks ****ing badass regardless.

Why is an american playing holmes?

I'd personally be offended if I were an Englishman.

I do agree that Hugh Laurie would essentially play a perfect Holmes and both American and English audiences know of him. But he'd basicly be playing the same character he does in house.

So maybe Downey. Jr will bring something fresh and unexpected to the role.

British people play Americans all the time.

Case in point: Hugh Laurie.

I win.

They don't play classic american characters though.

Like some British dude playing Tom Sawyers.

Liam Neeson is playing Abraham Lincoln.

That just went beyond winning.
