katikatThe slash is strong in this one!
Holmes/Watson = House/Wilson. Like really. Down to the "You're sabotaging my relationship to keep me to yourself!" speech :P I wonder if the House writers gave these writers some pointers.
I really liked how Holmes tried again and again to pull Watson in, to pique his interest. Well, Watson didn't fight him too much on that, did he?
My favorite part? Holmes sneaking into the hospital to see how Watson was doing. Yes, he wanted Watson to stay and work with him but he didn't want him to get hurt! That was quite touching.
Or the "Watson, what have you done?" in the docks, when the ship slipped down the dock and sank!
I actually liked Mary. She was strong without being demanding or bitchy, she didn't want Watson to stop working with Holmes because she knew that Watson loved these adventures. The "I know that you care about him as much as I do" speech she gave Holmes in the hospital was quite awesome!
The movie itself was really funny! Holmes shooting the gun in his room, drugging their dog, "hanging" himself... Watson all exasperated.
I loved Holmes kicking butt!
The best special effects? The glass blade with which Blackwood almost stabbed Watson. And the flying wheel that almost smacked Holmes - hadn't Watson dropped him.
And the music was excellent! It fit the film perfectly.
Oh yes, and there was some plot, too. Obviously ;)
After watching this movie, I don't think I'll be able to imagine anyone else but Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law as Holmes and Watson respectively.
BTW, does anybody know if there will be a novelization of this movie?
