OMG, here we go again.
Downey don't do it for me. i remember when he was playing the same character twenty years ago, and he is still playing the same overamped teenage twerp at forty plus.
this probably makes no difference to an audience that is too young to have giggled at his inebriated antics--such as being found stoned out of his gourd in stranger's beds, and ending up-repeatedly-in the county jail, while alternately bouncing in and out of court mandated treatment centers.
but if you are past puberty, and the height of expression for you is not the high-five, then you should be getting as sick as i am at watching this johnny one note.
now i don't know if his feeble acting efforts are because he hasn't professionally developed in the past 20 years, or the Hollywood cash team wants him to play the same role over and over and over...
any way it goes; you couldn't call his work a career--it's more like a constant merry go round on the same horse.
then there is what he and Hollywood did to sherlock holmes. for this heresy he should be emasculated and incarcerated. if you want to see a new take on the old detective--see what the bbc has done with a twenty first century sherlock.
i know the chucky cheese crowd won't agree with me, but downey please go away. pooh! pooh!
