"You're half right. He,unfortunately,wore the deerstalker and cape in the second half and final scenes of ADVENTURES."
I stand corrected.
However,check out SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE VOICE OF TERROR where Holmes goes on to put on the deerstalker an...
"I know of the graphic novel on which this is based. Didn't like that as well.The trailer is exactly that to the nth degree. Clearly,the trailer shows Holmes and Watson more of a buddy comedy with wisecracks and all and if you find that to be your...
"Remember, based on my reading of the Canon, Sherlock Holmes was an accomplished boxer, possessed extraordinary strength and endurance, and was a man of action in his own right."
That's correct. And...
"No, let's do just that. You know in your h...
I agree with most of what you said, except I would still caution you to see the movie first. Trailers can be misleading. Remember, Sherlock Holmes was an accomplished boxer, a man of extraordinary strength and endurance, and a man of action in his...
I agree. Undoubtedly, this will also generate much in the way of Pastiches, Parodies. Comic Books, cartoons, etc. I'll leave it to you whether you think this is necessarily a good thing or not.

I recommend to you a book entitled, My Life with Sherlock Holmes: Conversations in Baker Street by John H. Watson, edited by J.R. Hamilton, ISBN 0-8015-5272-9. The book is basically an organization of Canonical quotes by Holmes on his feelin...
Incidently, while I too enjoyed Mason as Watson, he did have that silly scene with the peas that indeed reminded me of Bruce.
The Nigel Bruce Watson was certainly intended for comic relief, and an attempt to make Holmes seem smarter by comparison. He is not so bad in their first movie, "Hound of the Baskervilles", though he quickly got goofier as the series progressed. I...
Downey may be ok, but it's certain that these days no big Hollywood movie is going to be made without a big Hollywood name actor, and, in this way, Downey certainly qualifies.
Still,, we won't know if we like it until we see it. Also, remember th...
Here are two examples. I'll just give you the beginning, and you can locate the rest yourself in the two stories.
Holmes is at his most poetic and philosophical in "The Naval Treaty", standing by a window admiring a rose. "There is nothing in whi...
