I'm not sure, but probably not. I like the Holmes stories for their mystery and suspense, but from the trailer they seem to have turn him into an action hero, which is very galling. But don't mind me... I'm wary of any Holmes film that doesn't stick exactly to the Canon.

I have to give them props, though, for shying away from the stereotypes that don't appear in the Canon, like the deerstalker hat, inverse cape, and curved-stem pipe. Also, RDJ is a great actor, and his take on Holmes might be interesting. I also read he studied Jeremy Brett's performance (who was and still is the best Holmes. Ever.) from the 80's TV series in preparation for the role, which earns him brownie points from me, at least.

As long as that's not a Holmes romance I see in the trailer, I'm excited. They actually went back to the stories and made them as they should be (as far as I can tell) which should make it pretty amazing.

But with me there is a limit, and when I find a man who keeps his cigars in the coal-scuttle, his tobacco in the toe end of a Persian slipper, and his unanswered correspondence transfixed by a jack-knife into the very centre of his wooden mantlepiece, then I begin to give myself virtuous airs. I have always held, too, that pistol practice should distinctly be an open-air pastime; and when Holmes in one of his queer humours would sit in an arm-chair, with his hair-trigger and a hundred Boxer cartridges, and proceed to adorn the opposite wall with a patriotic V.R. done in bullet-pocks, I felt strongly that neither the atmosphere nor the appearance of our room was improved by it.

I guess I haven't seen Rachel McAdams in anything before, because I was surprised at how high pitched her voice was. It threw me off. A lot. I thought she was pretty good at it though. She didn't act like she was madly in love with Holmes, she just acted like she cared about him but crime was her first choice. Which made for a happy Nurr. I always liked the story about her, and how Holmes refers to her as the woman.

I had no idea that Mark Strong was Septimus in Stardust. JF should be happy about that.
