Sherlock Holmes

[Ryushikaze]

Folks saying Holmes wasn't actiony, or a ladies man, or used guns (The man SHOT HIS MANTLE, FOR SHITS AND GIGGLES) might want to reacquaint themselves with the source.

Granted, this might take it too far, but it's not coming out of nowhere.

 

[Joker]

Uh, he wasn't a ladies man. Ever.

He was occasionally actiony and used the occasional pistol, but that was about it. He was more into CQC, tbh.

 

[Super Mario]

Sherlock uses CQC???


Well I'll be damned if they use a guitar solo on those explosions too. Judging by the trailer's amount, there has to be a guitar solo at one point in the film for giggles.

 

[Joker]

Yeah. He was a fucking boxer at one point, and also was an accomplished fencer. Tho he never did use a sword...or, at least not in the stories printed in The Strand, and Hound of the Baskervilles =/

Holmes always looked clean-shaven in the illustrations, tho. And did you ever notice how most of the time, Watson was the muscle?

I'd ask for a Lupin movie, but apparently they made one just last year, sooo...great justice.

 

[Max Payne]

Holmes never used a sword, be he is described as being a sword master at one point.

 

[Alex]

Tony Stark is descended from Sherlock Holmes y/n?

 

[Ⓐaron]

y, obviously.

Well, they make a Lupin movie every year, just a different Lupin.

And Keen, perhaps we are meaning different things by Lady's man, but Holmes was quite often the charmer.

But I do agree Watson was more the 'muscle' than Holmes, though not for lack of capability on Holmes' part.

Sorry, gotta completely disagree. He was utterly disinterested in women - and, well, interest is the key ingredient of any lady's man - and equally charming to all.

 

[Sheva Alomar]

Well, I liked it

 

[Eerie]

The only time when I remember him being interested in a woman - it's been years since I read it so I quite don't remember the whole thing or her name - was when a woman managed to steal something he was supposed to protect. Or something like that. Well, he was in admiration, that is

Other than that, yeah, I can't remember one single time where he actually shown any interest in women.

 

[Joker]

Correctamundo. "The woman" to him was the thief in the very first story he appeared in ("A [something] in Bohemia").

 

[Hisako]

WELL HELLO SEQUEL

Not quite as fresh an idea anymore as it was in the first place, but HEY at least we know exactly what we're getting this time

But even though there's more action, more guns, more explosions (MACHINE GUN BRBRBRBRRBRBRBRBRBR) it's shaping up to be just as consistent as the previous film since they're also stepping up the mystery to include MORIARTY. (And Stephen Fry as Mycroft, hells to the yes)

So here's to hoping that it's everything about the first movie ramped up 9001x. Sure as hell looks that way.

 

[Super Mario]

Finally! Moriarty! I know he appears in only 1 case, but this guy practically launched the other villains to be more recurring than just one shots from what I can understand. I hope to catch this movie in theaters~! : )))

 

[Hisako]

"I'M ON MY -" *kick* "- HONEYMOON"


iirc a lot of adaptations set up Moriarty to be basically an ultimate puppet master, so tbh it made sense for him to stay in the background during the first movie. Sure works in a dramatic sense.

Also, importantly, this is coming in December, which is awesomely closer than I would have anticipated it to be.

 

[Dana Scully]

I was already looking forward to this movie, and then I realized Noomi Rapace plays the new leading lady and was like SWEEEEEETTT.

She played Lisbeth Salander in the Swedish adaptation of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo + sequels and was amazing in it. Am excited to see her in this.

And Stephen Fry is in it too? BETTER AND BETTER

 

[DrakeClawfang]

To be fair, we don't know if the finished film will have more action, its a trailer, they have to emphasize the action elements more. The first film had a lot of scenes of Watson and Holmes investigating and discussing the case, and they were interesting in the film, but that sort of stuff doesn't make for a good movie trailer meant to be get people excited to see the film.

 

[Cthulhu]

Looks fun, .

Basically I was expressing my hope that there'd be more of both.
