Anybody else get the impression they are trying to make the audience take to him.
From what I've read and from the people I've spoken to it seems the one thing putting people off this film is Jude Law as Watson. Of course I can't speak for the entirely public but from the reviews I've read and the talks I've had with several cinema goers - this seems to be the general jist. I personally feel the same - I find him very irritating and smug.
Anyway, from reading talks with Guy Richie and producers they seem to be constantly bigging up Jude's performance telling us 'he's the perfect Watson' and 'he's really really good', even Robert Downey Jnr has gotten in on it and keeps saying "Jude's Watson is going back to the original stories etc - he was a womanizer etc"
Just a feeling I'm getting from it all, especially with Robert D Jnr being such a likeable actor and rising star in the past few years - they seem to not praise him but focus everything on trying to make us love Jude Law.
