Sorry, Jeremy Brett just always rubbed me the totally wrong way as
Holmes. He never let Holmes show any compassion, but was always very
snobbish and superior, esp. to Watson. And in the books, Holmes doesn't
treat Watson that way . And far too many liberties were taken with the
actual plots.
Don't blaspheme Jeremy Brett! I totally disagree that he was robot... I found
him very subtle and the most perfect Holmes! Yes, he strayed from the book by
having Holmes give up his cocaine addiction but the reasons he did it are sweet
(Brett said he wanted to be a good role model for kids).
I was really looking forward to it till I saw this review. Has anyone
here seen it, and how are the costumes?

movies. I'm hoping to see it

Well, in the first movie it was kind of refreshing to see Watson sock
Holmes in the jaw after that well-known remark Holmes makes about Watson
merely illuminating the genius of others.
I bought the Russian series but have not got around to watching it.

I hear you I do but I have to say that the very first few paragraphs of
the book thoroughly describe exactly the man we see portrayed on the

I found the MTV review site which pulls various reviews and the reviews are
mixed. The one you presented is there, another says something to the effect
that if you liked the first you will like the second. One trashes Robert
Downey's acting and another Ritches work. So reviews are not always
