so kinda weird.

also weird to see them try to make holmes over as more edgy. i dont know if he ever really did underground fighting in the books. did he? if he did, well ok, but it just seemed a bit out of place. i know they want to give him a bond style makeover but wtf. i dont remember holmes in any of the films i watched as a kid being all broody and a drunk either, but hey.

but the film was more of a bromance between holmes and watson (which was ok actually} and an action flick than a whodunit so if you were expecting a good old fashioned detective story reworked for the 00s, you might be dissapointed. there wasnt any one part i was really kept in suspense, or wondered what was going to happen or who did what.

still, it was enjoyable in a sort of brain almost switched off kind of way.

and the woman in there was alright looking also, so...

edit - oh and it looked amazing. cool to see ye olde london.
