Muscular Holmes....I think Not

Rating: Null/10 (25 April 2010)

A very unlikely movie with a very unlikely set of characters playing these roles. Holmes being as muscular as he is, Watson not being a dweeb and a story in which intellect is used a lot less than sheer physicality. A good movie but not a Holmes movie.
They try a bit to show the deductive powers of Holmes but it is really overshadowed by all the sprinting and punching. ALso Downney as Holmes? Downey as someone muscular? Wrong on both counts. This Holmes is actually shorter than Watson.
Overall an interesting movie - but I still think some historical characters are not meant to be messed with. Why not make Superman a womanizing, cargo-pant wearing reporter from Daily Planet? Doesn't fit.
