Normally I love scruffy hot men. But Holmes should not be scruffy-hot. Occasionally scruffy. But only when disguised, and not scruffy-hot. You know who should play Holmes? Leonard Nimoy, that's who. (A younger Leonard Nimoy, probably, unfortunately. But he'd've been marvelous.)
Oh, I agree, and I'm someone who likes the RLK books far more than the original (Language of Bees! End of the month!!). But I'm going for the amusement factor, and also Mr. Downey is an excellent actor. And to share with friends!
In their defense, if it is one, I think they're "reimagining" and starting with a very young Holmes. Guess we'll see if it works.
