Thank you! It's always nice to hear that people like the recs and find them useful. Hopefully our tastes will agree :)
Yep. That's pretty much how I felt until I was watching the trailer and it was all 'BOOM FLASH BOOM' and I was left feeling very apprehensive. I mean, I'm not a Guy Ritchie fan anyway, but I really wanted to give this a chance because I grew up reading Holmes too. As I said to someone else, I can quite happily watch Basil Rathbone's Holmes fight Nazis so surely...but, no.
The detective/thoughtful element was replaced with flashy visuals and a semi-mystical plot. Eurrgghh.
