The trailer for Guy Ritchie's "Sherlock Holmes" has arrived and I have to say that it iooks pretty much like I expected although there was a little more action. The bare-knuckle boxing element reminded me (and I'm assuming everyone) of "Snatch". It was nice to see Mark Strong (Rock'n'Rolla, Body of Lies) getting a billing. Perhaps he could save himself from being the "That Guy" of the 2010's.

I usually like Guy Ritchie films so the fact that he is being who he is is a good thing to me. His two attempts to break from the mold (Swept Away, Revolver) were horrific. Well, I should only call Revolver horrific since I didn't see the Madonna movie but I haven't heard anything good about it. Jude Law gets a lot of crap (which he kind of deserves for picking so many bad movies) but he and Downey Jr. could be an amazing pairing. Two talented actors with great comic timing.

The trailer didn't get me any more interested in this film than I already was but, on the bright side, it didn't have a GI Joe/Wolverine effect and make me less likely to see the film in theaters.
