Mini reaction to Sherlock Holmes: a Game of Shadows

[caffienekitty]

Went to see it at the last show of the day, meaning there were maybe 20 people in the theatre, so that was cool. Here's a very short reaction post.

Ever since I've seen the movie I've been describing it with only one word:FUN. Capslock FUN.

It's very much a movie to eat popcorn to.

I also saw this movie with about only 20 people in the theatre - opening weekend. Most odd!

Enjoyed it lots though. Yes, RDJ's accent is a bit distracting, but I agree, he made a better job of it this time! (Maybe he's been listening to Stephen Fry!) Speaking of which. Stephen Fry in the buff is like seeing your favourite uncle with his kit off. Just.... ewwwwww! (No offence meant to Stephen, who I adore very muchly!)

Still prefer BBC Sherlock though...

I didn't really mind seeing Stephen Fry naked, I was just trying to figure out why. I haven't seen him in much since Blackadder though, so I don't have a mental image/relationship template built up to be shattered.

Stephen Fry's pretty much a national treasure over here. (Apt as he was almost showing the family jewels in the SH movie!) Not sure if you can see it online somewhere, but he presents a great comedy panel show called QI (Quite Interesting), and he recently presented a fantastic documentary about language called Fry's Planet Word. Truly a renaissance man! (And he likes football too.)

Stephen Fry is awesome! Last time he came out to Australia he filled the Sydney Opera House just talking about life, the universe and everything. I haven't seen the movie yet and I'm struggling a little at the though of Fry sans pants.

Glad there weren't many people there. Tintin wasn't too crowded either.
You points were fun to read. Can't wait to see this movie too. Might happen later this week.
I know now to keep an eye out for some of the things you mentioned.
As for the accent, isn't there something about Sherlock being born in London and then raised in America for awhile? Then when he is back in London he effects an accent to cover for the fact he was in the US? ;) That might explain the odd accent, right? :)

You're thinking of John Barrowman. Oh and beware the Holmes purists beating a path to your door with pitchforks and fiery torches for suggesting such a thing. XD

lol.
Hee. I just like teasing you with stuff. I figure just cause you are there and not here, you are not immune to being teased ;)

Some days I don't mind.

Weirdly, because it was more overt (though in a joking sort of way) I found this movie less slashy than the previous one.

I liked Mary Watson too. And the gypsy lady, though I do wish they'd given her a little bit more...I don't know, attention? Character moments? Because she was cool, and she was present for most of the movie, and sort of important.

[caffienekitty]

I know, Sin kept seeming like she was just tagging along for long parts, and then there'd be a bit she was more involved, but then back to '...why are you here?' again.

They really did make the slash quite overt, it was fun but rather in your face.

I LOVED THIS MOVIE SO DAMN MUCH IT MAKES ME CAPSLOCK.

YAY!
