:lol: i remember those moments! i agree...they were trying to be unemotional but it wasn't working..they were very happy to see each other! :love:
 
Since I'm a big fan of special features, I'm guessing they will have the norms. Trailers, deleted/extended scenes, and actors commentary. But I wonder if they will have things like detailed information on the Conan's characters, the time period, the clothes, the music, etc.
 
I actually really disliked Rachel McAdams in it. And I really like her usually. But I found her lost in her role, and I was unconvinced that she had the cunning and the wits to impress or outsmart Holmes. :shrug:
 
Actually, in the books Moriarty was featured in only two stories. He was first introduced in "The Final Problem" in 1893, and even Watson had never heard of Moriarty before. Holmes and Moriarty dueled at Reichenbach Falls, and Holmes was presumed dead for years. When Holmes comes back, the villain is a former henchman of Moriarty, but that's it.

The next story Moriarty was in wasn't published until 1917, and it was called "The Valley of Fear." But, and this is an example of Arthur Conan Doyle's wonky timelines, the case is set in 1887 or so, and for some reason Watson knows all about Moriarty as a criminal mastermind. Which sort of implies that Watson must have been lying about the other case. But those are really the only two cases Moriarty was in. He was not at all the last case of Holmes's. He was more like in the middle.

But as people said earlier, the movie itself is not actually based on a specific book, so it doesn't have to follow anything written. I loved the movie and can't wait for the sequel.
 
I highly recommend it as a must see! I'm going to see it again after new years so I can catch all the tiny details in RDJ and LJ's acting.
 
I just saw it again today. I noticed more little things like Watson calling Holmes "old ****" and Holmes calling him "mother hen" in return. Also the awkward moment when Holmes is trying to say that he's glad Watson is alive, and they're both trying to be macho and unemotional.
 
He gave a great speech too. I'm glad he used the Holmes quote about "Art in the blood." That's from the story "The Greek Interpreter" with Holmes's brother Mycroft.

I haven't seen it yet but I love Sherlock Holmes.

I love RDJ,JL and RM so I can not wait to see it
 
I heard that they are planning kinda like a series of movies. Since they wanted it to be like revamping Sherlock Holmes. Like they did with Batman and Star Trek.

So I think they will have Moriarty be a part of the films. But have him be the big villian in the last. Since in the books, I believe there was always a hint of him. But he wasn't really present until a few and then when they went over the waterfall.
