Sherlock Holmes

[3db]

I went to the theater last week to see this flick. It was nice to get out of the house. I will definately add this one to my BR collection when its released. Humour, special effects, a mindless plot, and lots of action is always worthy of entertainment.

I enjoyed the first one, and I am a fan of many of Guy Ritchie's films, so I want to see this one as well.

I enjoyed it. Worth a visit IMO.

I've seen both movies and enjoyed the crash-and-bang FX, along with the humorous characterizations. I also have read a bunch of A C Doyle's Holmes stories. I like the movies as long as I can keep telling myself that there's NO, repeat NO, connection between the literary Holmes and the one in the movies.

I liked it as well. I'm not really a fan of Guy Ritchie's style but I enjoyed the chemistry between Downey and Law.

Both of these movies were a blast in theater, regardless of plot and story issues. I saw the second one in the new VIP theater at my local chain (cineplex). These included reclining leather seats, twist out leather trays and in seat food service including meals and alcoholic drinks. $19.50 a ticket, not including food or alcohol services.

A date or stalking?

So true, so true. Hey, on the upside, I don't have to buy her popcorn.

Btw, I was talking about going to see a movie...

So true, so true. Hey, on the upside, I don't have to buy her popcorn.

Good point. I hadn't thought about it that way. You'd actually be saving money.

So true, so true. Hey, on the upside, I don't have to buy her popcorn.

Genius.. I've been doing it all wrong the past few years! Just wait till I see her next..

It's a fun movie. Just sit back, munch popcorn, and be prepared to be entertained.

Nothing to take seriously or in which to find deep spiritual enlightenment. T

Downey and Law play off of each other so well I think they are well positioned to be the new "Lethal Weapon" type of buddy movie franchise. Action, Interplay and wisecracks.

I liked it but I do think the first one was better. What bothered me was it just seemed like Guy Ritchie felt he had to take all his gimmicks (camera slo mo, etc.) to the the next level to keep it fresh but all it did was make it more frenetic and less cohesive of a movie.

This one puts the first to shame. Improves on it in every way.

Watched it last night. I agree, the story bounces around a bit, and doesn't hold together as well as the first, but I still had fun watching it.

I loved what he did in "lock, stock" and snatch - the reverse event showing - I thought it was cool.
Ala-Matrix slow mo is getting old and tired on me

I did enjoy both movies, but yea - visual effects took a big chunk out of coherency of of script

 

[j_garcia]

The slo-mo is almost certainly for 3D effects. When watching in 2D, you aren't getting the full benefit of those moments, while in 3D you would not get as much effect if they weren't slowed down like that. So I get why they do it, but it does lose something in translation because it just seems like slo-mo for no reason.

I have to crack this copy open which is now sitting on my shelf. I enjoyed this movie in the theater an I will enjoy it even more at home.
