VERY good movie. I love, love, loved it! Robert Downey Jr. plays him perfectly. And there were several great, familiar Sherlock quotes. One of my favorites being, "Data! Data! Data! I cannot make bricks without clay." Fantastic. I also recognized, "You have the great gift of silence, Watson. It makes you quite invaluable as a companion." He he. Love that one. There were surely more that I cannot think of right now. Jude Law did a marvelous job with Watson, also. Thoughts?

Alsjem | 40 comments I was sceptical about this movie, but I actually loved it. Jude Law was surprisingly good.

IKR?! He did fantastic! I've never seen him in anything else before, but I'd heard of him. There isn't a better Watson out there, of that I am sure.
I was a little skeptical too, but I love Robert Downey Junior, so I was very interested, as well. It was beyond perfect. :)

Alsjem | 40 comments I loved the fight scenes, seeing Holmes work it all through in his mind first - well done.

Yeah, I LOVED that! My mom was like, "Why do they show you the fight twice?" she thought it was boring when they did that. She's so clueless, sometimes. :P

Yeah, me too. That's why I put I can't decide. Sometimes I like the first one better because of all the marvelous quotes we know so well. But I also really like the second one. I think the actual mystery was better in that one. (view spoiler) But I still LOVED the first one. I loved them both, soooooo much. :)

Krystal I don't not know how I feel about it. It was a good show but it didn't not seem like a Sherlock Holmes show to me.

Gabrielle (gabshi) "You do know what you're drinking is meant for eye surgery???!!!" Watson. Awesome. Amazing.
We love those movies, my family and I. ;)
Robert is great as Sherlock!!

Montana Phan (phanofmontana) | 12 comments I think Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr. did a marvelous job! That movie was what inspired me to start reading Sherlock Holmes.

Holmes: You've never complained about my methods before.
Watson: I'm not complaining.
Holmes: You're not? What do you call this?
Watson: I never complain! How am I complaining? When do I ever complain about you practicing the violin at three in the morning, or your mess, your general lack of hygiene, or the fact that you steal my clothes?
Sherlock Holmes: Uh, we have a barter system...
Watson: When have I ever complained about you setting fire to my rooms?
Holmes: Our rooms...
Watson: The rooms! Or, or, the fact that you experiment on my dog?
Holmes: Our dog...
Watson: The dog!
Holmes: Gladstone is our dog!

Inspector Lestrade: In another life, Mr. Holmes, you would have made a excellent criminal.
Holmes: Yes, and you an excellent policeman.

Irene Adler: Why are you always so suspicious?
Holmes: Should I answer chronologically or alphabetically?

Holmes: There's only at one case that intrigues me at present. The curious case of Mrs. Hudson, the absentee landlady. I've been studying her comings and goings, they appear most... sinister.
Mrs. Hudson: Tea, Mr. Holmes?
Holmes: Is it poisoned, Nanny?
Mrs. Hudson: There's enough of that in you already.

Jessica (jesskingxoxo) Haha lol, Mrs Hudson is so cool

Yeah, her disgust for Holmes is adorable. XD


message 21: by Jessica (new)

Jessica (jesskingxoxo) Lol, adoradle? XD


message 22: by Emily (new)

Emily (emilydodd221) It's so funny! Although I do prefer BBC Sherlock's version where he is actually really nice to her. Esp. the quote "Mrs Hudson leave Baker Street? England would fall!" All of the books I've read haven't had Mrs Hudson in, and I have read a fair few. She's only been in one (The Adventure of the Empty House) and even then it wasn't for very long.

I agree, I like her in BBC Sherlock too. ^_^
