So...The new tv show didn't do it for me at all. Something about it felt constructed, and I found it obnoxious in one episode when they made him not connect something that the audience was meant to connect first. And the actor playing Holmes looks really strange. The RDJ movie was a little over the top for me, but I still liked it, mostly because I'd watched all the Jeremy Brett renditions and could name from which stories they'd taken certain things for the screenplay. :)Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01338191914513562020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-80610516974905647022012-04-17T17:18:32.891-05:002012-04-17T17:18:32.891-05:00I am in love with the BBC series!

In...I have been a Sherlock fan since middle school. In fact, I was not much of a reader before I found the stories. I credit Doyle for sucking me into the world of books. I also love the new series. Mostly because I can use the name Cumberbatch when discussing it. But even though they are set in modern time the writers stay true to Holmes' personality. I can't say the same for the RDJ movies. I love the actor but can't stand the movies.

I was amazed because sequels usually suck, but then Iron Man 2 was great too, so maybe it was all RDJ's part in both....

When it didn't return to Masterpiece Mystery last year, I thought they abandoned it. (Case Histories was a delightful substitute, but I was still bummed out.)

Sherlock is a PITA for Watson on the show too--he asked Watson to get his phone, and Watson asked where it was, he said, my jacket--the jacket he was wearing while looking through a microscope. Watson actually rifled through his pockets to find it. <br /><br />@Chaptmansmythe - I was hoping you'd see the blog! I'm so glad you liked it.

Having read the original stories and novels, I've always believed that Sherlock was autistic. I think nowadays, it would be an interesting way to take the character and send out a positive message at the same time.Isis M.

The movie was great, but I too saw it at home and had a hard time understanding/hearing the dialogue which I think was more about the accents. Overall, I love that Sherlock was a bit of a mess and a total PITA for Watson! I have not seen the T.V. show yet, but I think I'll put it on the list.<br /><br />Samantha HenrySamantha Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14379405277254206655noreply@blogger.com
