    I saw the trailer yesterday, it looks like a fun ride and entertaining. RDJ is an awesome actor.

    I think he would have made a better Professor Moriarty.

    Wasn't Sherlock supposed to be a "taller than average" guy? Like...gangly almost?

    Isn't Downy like...5'8" or something?

    Just thinking out loud here.

    I just saw the trailer, and this looks entertaining certainly, Although the trailer shows quite a contrast to the picture painted by the original stories i-e

    - Sherlock should be taller and with long thin face.
    - Dr Watson should be older then Sherlock and somewhat stocky fellow
    - There was too much action in trailer, I hope this is not followed throughout the movie.

    Yep, but he's also supposed to be coked out of his brain whenever he's not doing heroin, so RDJ fits that bill.

    RDJ looks great in this film. I don't think he gets credit for being a great actor

    I'm sure he'll get crap for not being "exact" of for the film being "showy". Hard to create an original idea over and over again and make it interesting.
