MOVIES: Robert Downey, Jr as Sherlock Holmes--The Horror!

(1/6) > >>

TheDeeMan:
Does the thought of Robert Downey jr portraying Sherlock Holmes in a Guy Richie film make anyone else queasy?

Jeremy Brett mustbe rollingover in his grave when he heard the news.

Charles King:
Yes, but I'll give it shot. Saw the preview at Star Trek (*****) and T4 (**) and it looked more than a little different from the typical Sherlock flick. But some times different is good.

TheDeeMan:
Oh, I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised. But just from the list of ingredients one can just imagine the stew isn't going to taste good going down.

B L McAllister:
Well, I had the preconceived notions of youth (I'm old enough to have seen and heard some stars you won't probably even know about) when I first ran across Jeremy Brett's Holmes, so that I thought his portrayal pretty gross.  I quickly got used to it, and maybe this other guy (whom I'm too old ever to have heard of up to now) will have the same effect.

Lynette:
I'm going to reserve my opinion until I see the movie because I'm hoping for the best. Robert Downey, Jr. has plesantly suprised me in several roles he has done. Though some of his actions in life are questionable, I think he's a darn good actor.
(I'm getting up there, too Byron, and was thinking the other day that is's a shame some of the younger generation will never get to enjoy some of the greats who have passed on -  that is, unless they become old movie buffs.)
