The new movie seems to be a very different version of Sherlock Homes. The fist fighting scene is one that struck me as not how I picture Sherlock Homes. Someone from my FL posted this link http://community.livejournal.com/221b_bakerst/439718.html that lists out things from the movie that fit the Sherlock Homes canon. It shows that the fighting scene does actually fit.
Very cool! Thanks for posting the link.
Yes. I’ve only read 3 or 4 of the Sherlock Holmes books (their available for free at Project Gutenberg), but just from those I thought this movie was really true to them. It was a good movie too with what I thought was a really good ending.
