I think this movie looks awesome, i don't care what they call the main characters. i'm going to consider this to be "not a sherlock holmes movie" and enjoy it.

If this is rape then lock me up for rape.

No, actually I'd rather you didn't do that. But I still want to see this.

5 stars for 1:42

don't worry, there will be many fanfics written to commemorate the rape.

It's Robert Downy Jr.
Everytime a movie looks like it is going to suck and he is in it, it turns out great or at least very entertaining simply because of Robert Downy Jr.

Also, Holmes had a coke habit...so this is kinda in character.

Sherlock Holmes was a drug addict, an accomplished boxer, refused to remember that the earth revolved around the sun because he considered it irrelevant to his field of study, and once straightened out a bent iron poker.

None of this is really out of character. In fact, it strikes me as truer than most adaptations.

Robert Downy Jr. as Data.

"Burlesque is a genre of entertainment also known as Travesty. Prior to Burlesque becoming associated with striptease, it was a form of musical and theatrical parody in which an opera or piece of classical theatre is adapted in a broad, often risqué style very different from that for which it was originally known."

Perfectly legitimate concept and a very old, respected form of satire. Don't piss your pants over it.

Absolutely everything about this except for the name "Guy Ritchie" looks awesome, I don't know what the hell you're talking about.

I will watch this terrible movie and enjoy it very much.

This doesn't look very good just from a movie standpoint (and I think Guy Ritchie is a terrible director), but in terms of raping Sherlock Holmes, it really isn't. The films and television series of Holmes over the last few decades are what has advanced the notion that the books were these super serious, stuffy, logical, plodding catalogs of evidence and Holmes gathering people in locations to declare the perpetrator of the crime and all that stuff which is typically associated with detective fiction. In reality, most of Doyle's work was very much in the pulp-fiction vein with lots of lurid and adventurous elements with Holmes using doing battle with the forces of evil in some crazy manly man sort of way. The "Sexiness" of this movie might not be in character with the books, but it's not as radical a step out of character as a lot of people might think.

Everything about Sherlock Holmes was a ripoff of Edgar Allen Poe's Dupin.

Doesn't tell you whether the movie's good or not, I'm just saying is all.
