Our Comments:


This may end up
being a very critical movie.
From the looks of Holmes,
to all the action that will
be in the movie.
Lionel Wigram says
that they are putting
a bunch of fights in
this movie. which
would be unusual for a
Holmes movie.


Lord Blackwood, the
villain in the movie
never appeared in
the Sherlock Holmes books.
It is just another addition to
the movie.


There will be
a scene
where Holmes will
be fighting in an arena.
(Without his shirt!)
Which is
something that
Holmes probably
would never do.


"A lot of the action
that Conan Doyle
refers to was
actually made manifest
in our film. Very often,
Sherlock Holmes
will say things like,
'If I hadn't been such an
expert short stick person, I
would have died in that'
or he would refer
to a fight off screen.
We're putting those
fights on screen."

Maybe the actors aren't right. I've read Sherlock Holmes and this supernatural plot with practically no obvious mystery is looking a little crazy...
???!

This movie may ruin Sherlock Holmes as we know him - and all that gay stuff and 'rising from the dead' makes it seem insane. Holmes is too much of a gentleman to ever get into a fight unless he really needs to. I don't think Arthur Conan Doyle will enjoy this in his grave!
