Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes looks to be less inaccurate, and more exaggerated on the HOlmes of literary legend. The mention of Holmes as a martial artist, pugelist and swordsman in the books is rarely has to use them resorting instead to his brilliant mind. So I can deal with Ritchie doing his own unique spin on Holmes. In fact I was really looking forward to this.
However in this new trailer it seems more like they have made Holmes into a socially retarded bumbling genius, and the ever mindful Watson seems to be the badass continually challenging Holmes.
I am all for fresh eyes on a known character but when there is too much of a diversion it can distract from the movie.
I have lost a lot of anticipation for this film because of this trailer, however my feelings about Rachel McAdams have not changed one bit. Holy crap she looks amazing.
