“Madam i need you to remain calm and trust me i’m a professional…beneath this pillow lies the key to my release” hilarious!!! and is it me but in that part where they announce mark strong did he or did he not look like a younger andy garcia…?

caro says:

is it a parody? what is this british accent? i feel wrong!

EnglishGavz says:

It feels like a buddy cop movie, in the 1800’s, great! And Downey is pretty much the king of accents.

Matt K says:

DAMN!!!!!, Racheal McAdams looks pretty freakin hot in lingerie, and the movie itself looks to be entertaining.

SIN187UM says:

Looks good. i don’t mind slow mo used in moderation. Wireworks is what has out lived it’s usefulness.

cat says:

a little too much action but RDJ knows what he’s doing. and, yes, rached mcadams is hot!

Xigbar says:

It sorta feels like Sherlock Holmes as directed by Michael Bay.
The slow-motion punch at 1:07 looks unbelievably silly…

Shep says:

Looks good. Will def go see it. Have to say google ad sucks once again though!

rene says:

Oh god this just looks fantastic! I will certainly go see it. Robert Downey Jr. is a fantastic and a gifted actor. They don’t come much better. My children and myself especially loved the hammer throwing bit. We all can’t wait till Christmas!!!!

BJ Jones says:

Looks pretty cool. Now where is that Avatar trailer?

Richard says:

It looks the shiz!

Reverend says:

It looks like I’ll end up throwing things at the screen as was the case during Beowulf.

This is getting silly.

STUPID GOOGLE ADS!

@woolycaveman

Hey, sorry about that bud! Forgot to add a little snippet of code that pushes the trailer down below the ad.

Oh boy, Rachel McAdams as an adventuress! She’s great and I look forward to seeing her up against (so to speak) Downey’s Holmes. It looks like the film will call upon Holmes’s stated prowess with sword, pugilism, singlestick and bartitsu (a form of ju-jitsu and mentioned in “The Adventure of the Empty House” as being what Holmes used against Moriarty at Reichenbach. It was devised by Edward William Barton-Wright, a British engineer who had spent the previous three years living in the Empire of Japan, who returned to England in 1898 and announced the formation of a “New Art of Self Defence” and named it for himself. This looks down and dirty and very entertaining, even for an old Sherlockian like myself.

Looks good but it’s NOT Sherlock Holmes. Not remotely so. Jeremy Bret is Sherlock Holmes, this is a very cool quirkey late Victorian Age heroic Detective – buddy – cop – thriller- action- dramedy- film. Just not Sherlock Holmes

Taylor says:

i am quite pleasantly surprised by this trailer. i thought that this movie would simply be a film to pass the time, as i thought of iron man after i saw it, but this looks spectacular. unlike The Road, i think this film is cast splendidly. the whole trailer had me excited. looking forward to this one.

Andy S says:

This definitely looks like a must-see movie. RDJ is looking like he can do no wrong now!

Gary says:

Sherlock Holmes:His depravity knows no bounds!
LOVE it!

Longshanks says:

As soon as I saw Rachel McAdams,that sold me.

It actually does look like it will be very entertaining,and aside from Revolver,what more would anyone expect from Guy Ritchie?(notice I didn’t even bother mentioning that movie with Madonna)

Tammi says:

I’m soooooo totally in!!!!! The trailer was wonderful and the fact that they got RDJ to do it makes it even sweeter. I’ve always thought it was one of the best actors of his generation. Look at what he did in Chaplin… probably one of my favorites of his.

He’s very versitile… drama and comedy are definitely his strong suits and recently action has been added to the list.

Iron Knight says:

Loos really cool. No way I’m missing it. But, isn’t Rachel McAdams too young for Downey? Just sayin’

Xigbar says:

They made a sequel to LXG?

790 says:

I hope this story is slanted more toward Doctor Who then Masterpiece Theatre…

JD5DAD says:

looks great but what else is new it has RDJ in it

Mat D. says:

It looks good…Ive read a fair amount of Holmes and really looking forward to a different take on it…we’ve all seen the long coat and deerstalker…both RDJ and Jude Law seem to look at ease in their roles

muppet16 says:

Please inform Mr. Downey that Sherlock was a cocaine addict, not an opium addict, and he kicked the habit in Sir Arthur’s books.

Stu Shiffman says:

They probably won’t show Holmes smoking cigarettes either, as he did in the stories.

inkiepinkie says:

While I think it’s cool that they’re making a sherlock holmes movie, the fact that the main character himself isn’t British makes me a little sad. I mean, this is a classic British character and America is taking him and throwing him into an action-packed movie without even his trusty brown duster. I’ll probably see it, but chances are I won’t be too happy.

Stu Shiffman says:

Considering the number of British, Australian and New Zealander actors playing American-accented characters here, I think that this will be OK. I just think that it is fascinating casting and look forward to what Downey does with the role. I’ve already heard his various British accents in “Restoration” and “Chaplin.”

Deb says:

Looks very interesting….Can’t wait to see this one…

Morituri says:

Guy Ritchie doing Sherlock Holmes ? Let’s hope it’s not another Swept Away, I assume Madonna is not in it. Sherlock Holmes doing kung-fu ? Funny. I hope is good though, but I’ll wait for some reviews first before going to the cinema.

Reelwriter says:

As a teenager, I used to read Sherlock Holmes and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was one of my favorite authores. Even today, I use much of his theories of deduction in both my work and writing careers. I lived for the “resolve,” when Holmes would detail how he solved each crime. I’m friends with a police officer who is amazed at how observant I am, based on reading the Holmes series! (He’d be shocked to know that I’m not that clever all on my own!)

The trailer for the movie was great and I love Robert Downey, Jr. I will definitely be seeing the movie. However, I sincerely hope that Ritchie will resist the urge to make Sherlock Holmes a superhero. He was not. Sherlock was inspired by one of Doyles’ teachers in medical school, Dr. Joseph Bell, who was a master at observation, logic, deduction, and diagnosis. I sincerely hope that Ritchie will no aggrandize Holmes to the point of losing his simplistic charm.

NecroticD says:

not sure if this has been brought up but the nit picker i am saw an editing goof in between the 2 trailers at 1:59 mark of this trailer when the two figures are being blasted back from the explosion i noticed from the other trailer that in the other trailer there is only 1 person getting blasted back(im guessing Holmes)…. Just thought id shoot that bullet in the air and see where it came down.

Did you folks notice that too?

Overall this will be on my watch list for whenever it came out :)

Meredith says:

When I heard RDJr. was signing on to play Sherlock Holmes, I was thrilled. Now that I’ve seen the trailer? I’m even more psyched. I don’t think there’s any danger of Ritchie turning Holmes into a hero, either, simply because of the actor Ritchie’s picked to play this iconic character. Downey Jr. has this snarky, bruised quality that he can’t shake, even when he’s playing a classic hero like Iron Man. That quality is what gives his roles their humor and vulnerability. No one does that combo like Downey Jr., so I have no doubts he’ll give Sherlock a makeover we’ll never forget.
