In Reply to: Sherlock Holmes... posted by mkuller on January 3, 2010 at 20:51:30:
It's funny you could recommend not thinking about a horribly written piece of crap like Avatar and rate it an A, but you couldn't extend the same courtesy to Sherlock Holmes. Note that Doyle's Holmes was a gifted fighter like the Downey version. One difference--Doyle's Holmes indulged in cocaine and Downey's version didn't, but was portrayed as manic. In other respects--especially in terms of wardrobe--Downey stayed closer to Doyle than other actors who have played Holmes.
