One cannot forget this is Robert Downey, a clownish actor.
If one were unacquainted with Basil Rathmore, this film might be mildly amusing. Really, Patrick, did you find the fight with the giant in that warehouse the least bit amusing? Those fight scenes were fantastic, yes, but in the wrong movie.
Holmes was an intellectual: that is his soul. Downey? Hardly Eton material.....
