• "Jude Law as Dr. John Watson, Holmes' ally, a surgeon and a war veteran. Law is not portraying the bumbling fool that actor Nigel Bruce popularised in the 1930s–40s films"
  
• "The story, including its villain, are an amalgam of Holmes stories."
  
• "Warner Bros. sought to reinvent Holmes in the same way Batman Begins revived that franchise"
  
• "Warner are also interested in beginning a series."
• "Professor Moriarty's existence is hinted in the script to set up the sequels."
• "focusing on aspects of the character generally ignored in previous films (such as his bare-knuckle boxing and fencing skills)"
  
• "Arthur Conan Doyle's estate had some involvement in sorting out legal issues, although the stories are in the public domain in the United States."
  

• "When filming at St John's Street in December, the schedule had to be shortened from 13 to nine days because locals complained about how they would have always have to park cars elsewhere during the shoot."

I was unsure of Jude Law at first, but he really is a great actor.

House is gay, bring laurie back to England where he belongs!

does anybody really give a shit about a Sherlock Holmes movie

really

The more I think about it, Downey Jr. gets A LOT of roles as an addict. I'm aware of his personal problems in the past, but jeez, Scanner Darkly, Iron Man, Sherlock Holmes, Charlie Bartlett, the list goes on...
