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.

And the dog. :) Jude Law played Watson and I thought he and RDJ had a great dynamic as Holmes and Watson. Did you also happen to catch the surname of one of the minor characters? When I heard it, I may have gasped and my brother thumped me on the back thinking my candy went drown the wrong way.
Anyway, I definitely squealed when the IM2 trailer came out. Can't wait until May. :)
take care
