i saw them filming the part at 0:54 in an alley next to my flat

What. the. fuck.

I mean... what have they done to Sherlock Holmes? To the reserved intellectual? The detective who uses observation and deduction? For goodness' sakes, this trailer fits the story of Iron Man 2 better than of Conan Doyle's stories.

Seriously, what the fuck

Hmmm, to counter EDD's comment I'll propose:

Sherlock Holmes + Explosions = fuck yeah!

I have ill feelings towards that movie. I do believe it to have shat all over what the book portrays the character to be. Although I have not seen the movie, I wont go out of my way to see it because of this preview.

meh, Hugh Laurie is a better Holmes (MD)

Sherlock Holmes mashed with Snatch and Bourne?

Weird.

Meh, if I wanna read the book I will. This is gonna be better than Inglorious Bastards by a factor of Robert Downey Jr.

So an action version.

ahhh....hollywood fucks up literature again..so be it!

I don't know when y'all read the Holmes stories, but Holmes is most definitely a fucking badass. The only reason he's not a womanizer is that there's never any time in the stories to let him be, but Doyle does suggest it more than once. Further, Holmes was a champion boxer at Uni, and never avoids a fight. This update is fine. You bony nerds are just bitching cuz this Holmes doesn't fit the self-projection fantasy you created when you were sniveling teenage bony nerds. Btw, I'll go toe-to-toe with anyone on Holmes trivia anytime. Also, please no one be offended by being called a bony nerd; clearly I am a pretty big nerd myself. *promote

Just saw Star Trek yesterday... Spock says it to, I think, Kirk.

How can you not smack *comedy all over this for the hammer scene? So awesome. I'll call *books too, to anger the nerds some more.

Adding video to channels (Books, Comedy) - requested by Krupo.

Wow, James Bond never looked so 19th century.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

I think Sir Digby Chicken Caesar would make a better Holmes.

Why, I say old chap, this is sure to be the most rollicking pile of awesome since Plunkett and McLean!
