Sherlock Holmes

[piplover]

Went with my mom to see Sherlock Holmes today and OMG I loved it!  

Let me just say that I am one of those people who can see Holmes/Watson in either a very close friendship or a slash relationship, and I loved how they seemed to walk the line in this movie.  The love they shared for each other was very apparent, and the h/c left me feeling all warm and fuzzy inside! 

Holmes loss at Watson's leaving was at once funny and sad, because you could tell that he was going to be utterly lost without the doctor there to keep him on track.  Also, I loved how they showed that it wasn't just a one way street, that Holmes took care of Watson as well, such as with his gambling and keeping his money for him so he wouldn't get into trouble.

I thought I would not like Mary, but she was very well done, and I felt that her love for Watson in no way impeded the love Watson had for Holmes.  

Also, the banter was funny as hell! 

All in all, I think I will definitely be seeing this again, probably on New Years day, as that is my next day off, lol.  This is totally going to be a DVD I will buy.

It was brilliant! I adored how they portrayed Watson, you could tell he was a soldier who had been injured but could keep up with Holmes no problem. And I really liked Holmes, I think the episode with the flies demonstrated perfectly why exactly Holmes needs his Watson to watch out for him!
