What a terrible film. I'm wondering which one DM saw. I can't remember being this bored in a film. I recieved no connection with the characters. It seemed like Downey spent the whole film mumbling.
It did look great but then aren't computers wonderful. But I never felt engaged to the story. It just seemed like Holmes and Watson spent the film wandering around with Holmes trying to get Watson to join him on his adventures. This was a good subtext but it never changed. It was Holmes trying to get Watson to come with him. Watson refuses and then gets seduced into coming.
There was some bits about Watson's gambling problems, but that never paid off. There was one scene of Holmes using his super deductive reason skills but it was mumbled so I didn't really get his cool revelations. I did kind of like his reasoning about what he was going to do in a fight and then going and doing those things but I kept waiting for it to be wrong.
At the end of the movie, I just didn't care about these characters and this story.

So much for the flickr badge idea. Dammit
