Well,... Jeremy Brett will always be my Sherlock Holmes. I read the books repeatedly when I was young and he's one of my favorite fictional characters.
However, the new Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law version is a fun ride. More than that actually, as I was expecting it to be "only" a fun ride. It's really actually very charming. I loved how the city was shot... it almost felt like it's own person. And they kept enough of Holmes misanthropic nature that I was happy, even if he wasn't "MY" Holmes. (could have done without some of the gross-out moments, though... but even so, I really enjoyed it.)
and we already knew that I needed a fuchsia bustle gown, didn't we. (and we already knew that Mitch would look hot in period suits.)
PS, I'm sick sick sick and has the brain damage.
