It’s directed by Guy Ritchie, stars Robert Downey Jr. as Holmes and Jude Law as Dr. Watson and I want to go on record as saying this movie however well intentioned is going to suck…I hope it doesn’t suck as bad as I think it will but Guy and all of the cast needs to know…
There is only one Sherlock Holmes and that is JEREMY BRETT!!!
I liked Downey Jr. in the movie about the silent film comic.
I did not like him as Iron man
Has nobody seen the Granada Sherlock Holmes series with Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke???
No I have not Lyle.
Well it’s a must see if you like Sherlock Holmes…Brett is hands down the best at playing the role.
I suggest you watch it and if you don’t like it well, I am sorry that you have no taste
What was that movie ten or more years ago about Jack the ripper that involved sherlock holmes as well.
Maybe “Jack the ripper”
that was a good flick and bought stuff to light too about the Royal familys doctor being involved.
HELL?
That was From Hell and it didn’t have anything to do with Sherlock Holmes…way to go Andre ;D
Did it have anythng to do with Alzhiemers then 
.
Shit I cant remember any movie called Hell!
Im going to have to go get it now and see .
No I definatley saw one with that story line and Homes was doing the case.
Or was he doing Watson ?
…not Hell! but ‘From Hell’
Your getting warmer…
Andre you are correct but it was only made for tv. Thingy was in it his name will come him with the glasses ;D Help
Micheal Caine thats Him good Film
Actually I dont think He played Sherlock I think He played Micheal Caine, not a lot of people know that ;D
I really liked the Jeremy Brett interpretation of Holmes. He had that amazing enunciation, and very distinct RP accent form. For me he is the definitive screen Holmes.
I worry about Guy Ritchie being at the helm of this new film though. I hope it turns out okay.
Thanks ,Im not going nuts, it was fun to watch I remember. The coachman and the Queens doctor were the killers. Done like a documentary movie.
Amen. I enjoyed Rathbone but Lyle is correct (did I just say that?) before JB got ill - he was Holmes. He used to carry a book of the stories about with him ensuring the dialogue was exact. The illustrations often made it too screen. Gotta love that dedication to the canon. He had the height & the hollow look.
As much as I like robert downey jr, I don’t see him as Holmes…at least he’ll have the drug experience.
“From Hell” was a good movie that had Johnie Depp as an investigator who was was an opium and Absinth addict… I thought that was the one you were talking about also as it does bring the royal family into it…
The royal family’s doctor killed the prostitutes to protect some sort of secret.. Maybe a baby/affair, or to protect the secret that one of the royal family member had syphilis or something.. But in the movie the doctor wasn’t just doing the work of the royal family, but he was a real sadistic bastard that took pleasure in carving up the victims… He would ride around with the coachman and lure the prostitutes in with Grapes (a demonstration of wealth in those days), and then would poison/knock them out with Laudanum (opium tincture)… And there was an uproar when the investigator went to the authorities declaring that the victim’s attacks looked like they had been done by a trained surgeon.. Because specific body parts were precisely cut out.. But Authorities weren’t happy with that because they believed only quality men could become doctors and no doctor could ever be evil.. Such crimes could only be committed by a butcher or begger, or a “jew”..
But that movie didn’t have any Sherlock Holmes stuff in it, and I remember there was a movie called “ripper” that came out a little bit before that I think which I havn’t see, so that might be the one you saw..
Anyway on the new one, I’m a fan or Downey Jr and his movies are usually pretty fun, but Jude Law drives me totally insane.. He comes across like a petualant child brat in almost every one of his movies… Maybe it’s just that piece of turd of a movie “Alfie”, worst movie ever and there are very few scenes in that movie where if you had a gun , you woudln’t shoot the television or shoot yourself so you don’t have to watch another second of it..
