That's exactly the kind of insightful film critique I was hoping for!
You are welcome. If I critique a film the film gets centerstage. Not the hyped up star, unless the star has actually earned the title STAR. Such as Meyrl Streep, Sally Fields, Robert Diniro, Dustin Hoffman, Al Pacino. You get the idea.
Sadly most movies today are loaded with non-essential scatological humour, gratuitous sex and innuendo that have little, or less than nothing to do with the plot or to add to the film.
But then, in order to attract the limited attention of the mental midgets that todays society is producing, the movie production companies have no choice. God forbid that they make a movie that actually required the viewer to pay attention to and think during the process. They'd go broke, as many of them are close to doing anyway.
Actually, I nearly forgot. He, RDJr., did a outstanding job as Charlie Chaplin. But the both the Sherlock movies are crap (a sequel is in production), whether Downey is in them or not.

http://www.uelekevu.com/yeahno.gifAlso we're having a discussion (
http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=129871) one forum down about how irritating and unnecessary it is (partly from an etiquette point of view but mostly just bitching) for people to quote the entirety of the post immediately preceding their reply. I realise not everyone frequents the Website board, but now one of the topics currently under discussion has been revealed. And you did exactly that twice just now. I'm just sayin'.
ps there can be only on onjonbob

A one line quote doesn't seem to be in excess, and as your post re my edit shows, a post in between one you are commenting on or responding to can confuse the issue.
However, if even a one liner is out of line, although I doubt that was the issue that Subjective was discussing. I'll be certain to not quote an entire post, even if it's one to 5 words or a sentence.

Both? (

He's talking about the one that comes out on Christmas and the sequel that is currently in development.
I'm still trying to figure out how you can possibly know that the next movie is horrible without even seeing a second of it.
I, for one, am looking forward to seeing the new Sherlock Holmes movie, although I do hope that there's more Sherlock Holmes-ish mystery solving than the trailer would have us believe.

I do not expect the Sherlock Holmes movie to be in any way comparable to the work of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
On the other hand, I do expect it to be an entertaining movie.

Looks pretty ass to me. I'm trying to imagine a justification for that boxing scene being part of the story and I really can't think of one.
But hey, popular re-imaginings are the nature of public domain work. Likely this will lead a bunch of people to go and read the original stories.
