Sherlock Holmes

Holmes


vs. Holmes


vs. Holmes
Mary Russell...and Sherlock Holmes

As an actor, I think that Robert Downey Jr. is quite capable, with his surprising ability to sing, and even more so now that he has gotten the better of his addiction to drugs. As the current representation of Sherlock Holmes however, I am not entirely certain that he gets my vote of confidence. Jeremy Brett in the BBC productions of Doyle’s novels was so amazing that it’s hard to imagine anyone else in the role (although there have been many others that lacked luster). Perhaps I’m more concerned by Guy Ritchie’s interpretation of Sherlock Holmes. He’s no J.J. Abrams.
