I liked #1.  #2 seemed to just try to be louder and more 'action sequences' that were too much

It was like going from Pirates 1 to 3.  I'm hoping SH3 is closer to Pirates 4 than 3

It's as much Sherlock Holmes as Jar Jar Trek is Star Trek.

Sherlock Stark. Could work.

I'm kinda surprised that RDJ is adamant to get out of the Marvel metaverse to...star in another blockbuster type sequel.

I figure he'd want to do some art house stuff since he has more money than most 3rd world countries at this point.
Insert witty comment here.

I'm not necessarily saying its true-to-character.  The BBC update series is way better for that.

I did enjoy the first movie for what it was, though.  Change the names from Watson/Holmes to Shawcross/Colback and you'd have a fun Steampunkish romp of a movie

Plus, any opportunity to watch Mark Strong chewing scenery is a good time

I don't want Guy Ritchie screwing up Shawcross/Colback  :knuppel2:

With Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman? I couldn't get into that show.

I agree.  Season 2 tried too hard but just turned out weird.

So Robert Downey Jr will battle Benedict Cumberbatch for the title of 'Iron Dr. Stange Holmes'?
