Holmes

[ithildin]

We went to see Sherlock Holmes with my mum this afternoon, and YAY! the IM II trailer was shown!


We all really enjoyed it, much more than I'd expected. Though I did have something of a chicken or egg thing going because it really reminded me more of House and Wilson than any prior Holmes shows/movies I've seen in the past. So that was rather interesting.

Wasn't too sure about Mary in the beginning, but she'd grown on me by the end, and I loved Irene! It was nice to have a more prominent female presence than is usual in a Holmes project.

RDJ was very good in the role I thought, as well as the actor who played Watson (whose name escapes me currently). Overall, a thumbs up from all three of us and definitely a DVD purchase when it comes out.

Hey, I was just about to turn in when I saw your post. Holmes is playing in our theaters as well, and I was interested in whether it's something I should go see. Seeing thumbs up from you tells me I should.

Oh, have you guys seen Avatar yet? I have much love for that movie, and I loved both the characters and the story. Couple of scenes that reminded me of my own war experience gave me goosebumps.

No, it'll probably be a DVD rental for us. We don't actually go see many movies. This is the first one since Star Trek, I think.

It's a great event movie and I would die to see it in 3D! How can you not see this movie? Someone on one of the forums I frequent says his army friend told him this movie is being talked about in remote villages in Africa. Now that's word of mouth!
