Wow, that looks pretty good.

false

Haha! Nice!

Being an Englishman I can tell that Downey's accent is a bit off, but he has obviously worked hard on it so I can live with it.

Seems a bit like Chaplin. I'd eventually want to see a more thrilleresque mystery Holmes film, but this looks like fun.

He did play Charlie Chaplin years ago, so that does fit. Cheerio!

i agree his accent is off people need to understand Americans cant pull of an British accent and if they can pull it off most likely its some posh accent

he does Ostralian ok, eh mate?

crazy statement. plenty of american actors have pulled off amazing english accents. just look at downey in chaplin. and the posh accent in sherlock holmes is fitting being that holmes is from the upperclass, descendent from squires and spent most of his early days studying at universities.

(i'm english too, as if that actually matters)

And there is Higgins from Magnum PI, Jonathan Hillerman? He did a great English accent.

Actually I think that Johnny Depp pulls off an excellent British Accent.

looks like a potential crapper of a plot with its over-slick cuts (they just tend to be that way), but i'd watch it anyway cuz damnrachelmcadamsinacorsettelooksfine.

I know! I'm looking for pics right now. As far as plot goes, that's really not what I'm gonna judge this movie on. But maybe that's just me. :D

YEEHHH

wow... I can't help but be a bit disappointed

Why?

I think because I was expecting something different. Wow Guy Ritchie directing Sherlock Holmes, it should have a more noir, gritty, rugged, and down in the grimey muck kind of a film, make it really hard edged and just downright badass. It should be like... Man On Fire mixed with The Departed and set in old school England. This looks more like an action/buddy comedy directed by a hybrid of Stephen Sommers and Gore Verbinski. Not saying that this is a bad thing... but i was expecting something grittier, not a sequel to YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES which as we all know is a 1980s kids flick... not a bad kids flick, but a kids flick nonetheless.

Yeah, that looks good....Jude seems a bit wooden in it, but that looks pretty sweet to me.

I wonder how much of an opium addict they'll portray Holmes as? I don't remember him in the books being described as lacking in personal hygiene, but then again I may just be focussing on Jeremy Brett's portrayal of the Great Detective as a very English gentleman. With a drug problem.

That was worth viewing just for the beat with the hammer. Funny. I hope Guy Richie has kept the slo-mo to a minimum though. I had enough of that in Snatch.

I expected a more gruff and world weary Watson. someone that looks (or i guess acts) like they may have actually fought and as a doctor in afghanistan.

Ah, see I was wondering that too. As much as I really want to watch this, the more I think about it, the more I fear that they are going to portray Sherlock Holmes as a shameless, unshaven, druggie slob. I have been rereading all the cases recently and there is nothing to say that Sherlock Holmes was messy or lacking hygiene...the only thing mentioned is his messy possessions and papers everywhere. And for the drugs, he was not addicted. Even in the books, Watson mentions he only takes (was it like a 6% solution) it when there is absolutely no case anything for him to work on. So while I'm excited, I'm also rather afraid that this Sherlock Holmes will not be the meticulous, genius, sharp-minded, lofty detective the book portrays.

The beat with the hammer was funny, but as a major Sherlock fan, I was rather hoping he wasn't so stupid as to assume that his tiny hammer would have made any mark at all on that giant. I was hoping he would hit something with the hammer and something heavier would squash the guy. Still! This movie may be the very first I'll have seen Sherlock actually doing major boxing. I, too, like Jeremy Brett (best Sherlock Holmes ever).

Here's hoping! I think I'll go see it, but I'm not 100% excited. Rather I'm 80% fearful and 20% hopeful that this movie will turn out brilliant.

It looks really good to me, I am slightly worried that its not an adaption of one of the origional stories.......hopefully they wont take too many liberities. Having just finnished reading ALL of the stories, I am hoping that Holmes is done right, hes a perfectionist but not in all aspects of his life.
Just to note hes not addicted to opium.....from time to time he uses cocaine to stimulate his mind, and Watson makes him quit, but it seemed that Holmes had control over his habit just like every other aspect of his life,

boooooringgg trailer, guy really need to meet again with mathew vaughn and stop filming this kind of crap

i agree that trailer sucked! but I'm dumb

Its that En Ra Ha guy! Beautifully typecast

I knew I recognized him. Thanks!

Epic! Let's hope there's some type of directors cut released which features the footage Warner Bros found too 'unrealistic'. Because it looks like this movie relies on realism like Mein Kampf relies on civil rights.

I have mixed feelings. It looks action packed and a lot of fun, but something isn't sitting right with me. I'm not quite sure what it is...I'll have to give it some thought.

True facts. Something just... a little left of center somewhere. Maybe because I came with ...ya know, Sherlock Holmes in mind maybe. Whatever the case, looks like a bit of fun.

this is most definitely not a sherlock holmes movie. this is an action movie whose main character just happens to have the same name. sherlock holmes stories have no action. :( another childhood favorite ruined by hollywood.

Yeah. :( What on earth is Sherlock doing with love interest?! He loved no one! So I find that part rather disgusting. However, I'm hoping to see this movie and hopefully get an idea of what Watson and Sherlock were like together as youthful people. Mostly the Sherlock holmes series has them portrayed much older. I liked the Jeremy Brett series best.

I like the looks of it! Robert Downey Jr. does comedy well, and it's been awhile since I've seen Rachel McAdams. The new take on Sherlock Holmes and the casting of young(ish) actors had me wondering how it'd all come together, but from the trailer I'd say it worked. I'm very much looking forward to this one!

i like it looks like some good fun

lol did you guys see the part where RDJ picks up a little hammer to hit the big guy but the big guy totally had a bigger hammer? and then they akwardly look at each other because they are aware of this difference in size? LOL I laughed so hard at that and to top it off RDJ threw the hammer at him and it DIDNT DO ANYTHING because the guys so big. lol Guy Ritchie can go suck a door knob

While I don't care to defend this film, do you ever post anything positive? All you do is fucking complain.
So, I'm curious... what are your five favorite films?

I post positive things maybe you just notice the negative comments. My 5 favorite films are:

001. Taxi Driver (Martin Scorsese, 1976)
002. 2001: A Space Odyssey (Stanley Kubrick, 1968)
003. M (Fritz Lang, 1931)
004. Le Samouraï (Jean-Pierre Melville, 1967)
005. Badlands (Terrence Malick, 1973)

If you're a Melville fan, check out Army of Shadows if you have not already.
Thanks for the response.

I love Melville. My 3 favorites from him are Le Samourai, Le Doulos, and Bob le Flambeur. I recently bought the Criterion version of Army of Shadows but haven't gotten around to watching it.

my favorite films:

1. Die Hard (John McTiernan 1988)
2. Die Hard 2: Die Harder (Renny Harlin 1990)
3. Die Hard with a Vengeance (John McTiernan 1995)
4. Live Free or Die Hard (Len Wiseman 2007)
5. (space available)

I knew it as soon as Guy Ritchie got away from Madonna he's talent came back.

That trailer looks rather elementary, my dear.

And to comment on the fellows who think it feels "off" or "just left of center" - that's the feeling of wanting something to be funny, when really it isn't because you've seen it before. This is worth a rental.

lol determining its worth a rental just from a trailer is a bit ridiculous

it was quite funny. worth a rental? wow go to aicn

I was really looking forward to this movie and this trailer made me even more excited for this movie. Looks like a lot of fun and the cast looks great in their roles.

I'm kinda tired of people complaining and saying "That's not Sherlock Holmes..." because most haven't read a single one of the books. Looks like a nice mix of action and comedy. I laughed quite a few times reading Sherlock Holmes stories and I laughed during this trailer too. Looks good to me.

as someone who grew up with sherlock holmes, has read all of the books, short stories, criticisms, and as many of the fan fictions as possible: that's not sherlock holmes. the style was always very much about the power of the mind, not the body.

I, too, have read every book and much of the commentary, as well as Conan Doyle's commentary on his character. That is not Sherlock Holmes. That is a Hollywood interpretation, and it looks awful.

I'm more interested than I was before

That was...interesting?

no not really

robert downey to light up the screen

Micheal Bay's SHERLOCK HOLMES!
