thoughts on the new Sherlock Holmes movie
Finally got a chance to go see this now that I am back in America.
When I get some time, I might start looking into fanfics for this.....
- The plot is weird. Not all that Conan Doyle-like due to too much action and not quite enough mystery+deduction. On the other hand, the overall feel of the movie is stylish.
- Lord Blackwood eerily reminds me of Al Pacino in Godfather.
- They totally revamped the Irene Adler character for the sake of onscreen romance, and I do not like it. -_- (That said, I think Rachael McAdams was good for the role.) It goes hand in hand with the emotionalizing-Holmes thing (see below).
- I am not sure I like what they did to Holmes. He's much, much more human and more expressively emotional now and I'm just...having some trouble with that.
- I do LOVE what they did to Watson though. (Oddly enough, I did not find the beard on Jude Law an issue.) Watson's totally, ass-kickingly awesome now. And toppish, to add to it. ("Be gentle with me, Watson!"...I mean...SRSLY PEOPLE? SRSLY?)

+ Holmes is CLEARLY gay for Watson, who tragically does not realize what they have is not bromance. - yes, yes.
i don't know why i even loved that movie so much - maybe it's all because of the slash & pretty people in it - cause it really wasn't that good. the plot was a bit stupid, i thought. BUT i can't wait for the sequel :D MORIARTY!
