Dear Rahul, I'm sorry to hear you didn&...@Rahul<br />Dear Rahul, I'm sorry to hear you didn't like Guy Ritchie's Sherlock. I've never liked old Sherlock that much, never being a fan of detective stories but thanks to this amusing, brilliant new versions (BBC TV series is definitely good too!) I'm re-evaluating Conan Doyles's detective.<br />Never mind. Any opinion is always well-accepted on FLY HIGH! Especially if thoroughly and kindly stated, as you did.<br />@Phylly3<br />My husband also complained about the action scenes as being too fast to be understood and enjoyed. I simply thought it was me who couldn't enjoy them instead ... I was in good company! Thanks for sharing your impressions on FLY HIGH!<br />@A Scattering<br />Dear Elaine,your smiling face is familiar to me now! Thanks for following and commenting on a regular base :-)<br />You saw Tin Tin, you say and ... The Hobbit Trailer on a huge screen too??? LUCKY WOMAN!!!<br />Glad to hear you enjoyed Sherlock as I did (though not more than the first movie).<br /><br />Happy New Year to the three of you!MGMaria Graziahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08876779286144473782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-61357031413163195292012-01-01T15:00:07.872+01:002012-01-01T15:00:07.872+01:00Hi Maria, I follow Flying High and really enjoy i...Hi Maria, I follow Flying High and really enjoy it!<br /><br />My husband and I went to see Sherlock Holmes on December 23 and enjoyed it even more that the first movie. <br /><br />On December 26th we saw The Adventures of TinTin in 3D on an IMAX screen and that was wonderful as well.<br /><br />I wish you and your loved ones a very Happy New Year!<br /><br />Elaine<br />Ontario, CanadaA Scatteringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03071957279379194840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-53714079476773601742012-01-01T02:51:27.493+01:002012-01-01T02:51:27.493+01:00My family saw this movie the last weekend before C...My family saw this movie the last weekend before Christmas. I really do love Robert Downey Jr. I can accept his portrayal of Holmes because I know it is a much more fantastical version. What I found difficult was some of the action was so fast, it was hard to follow. After too much of that my brain shuts down! My husband even dozed off! (We were pretty tired from Christmas shopping). <br />So, while I very much enjoyed the performances, and the cinematography I do wish we didn't have to have every movie so jazzed up to appeal to young people's short attention spans. :)<br />Very nice review MG!<br />Hope you had a Merry Christmas!Phylly3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10551254554577516351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-68412989630959001402011-12-30T14:30:31.891+01:002011-12-30T14:30:31.891+01:00Maybe it is just me but it hard to think of anyone...Maybe it is just me but it hard to think of anyone as Sherlock Holmes other than Jeremy Brett, the late actor who played it to near absolute perfection in the BBC granada TV series. That was a work of art so near to the description of Holmes by Sir Doyle that you began to doubt if Sir Doyle had seen Brett through a time machine and written Holmes or vice versa. I have seen many movies and serials of Holmes by various productions but Brett can never be replaced as Holmes. For me, Holmes never dies at Reichenbach Falls (though Doyle was forced to get him back in the Adventure of the empty house). For me, Holmes died the day Brett died. Every great actor or director once in their lifetime gets buried under a tomb of immmortality because of one performance or movie (Ramesh Sippy could never shake off SHOLAY....never). Same with Brett...till his end, he could never be anyone other than Holmes.<br />I tried seeing Holmes Part 1 as potrayed by Robert Downey jr.....How does one describe it?Too painful to watch one of the greatest fictional literary figures ever being massacred by mediocrity. I stopped after 20 minutes and went back to the comfort of youtube to see Brett in my favorite story of all...The Adventure of the Dancing Men. No offence against Downey Jr. He may be a fine actor but the nuances you need to play the mad genius of Holmes.....sorry....no way. It's like asking any actor of today to re-enact Vijay Verma of DEEWAR...That was a role that Amitabh was born to play.Rahulhttp://hindisms.org/sms/hindi-love-smsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-790028645263627822011-12-26T01:03:46.242+01:002011-12-26T01:03:46.242+01:00@Judy

I loved the first one so much and from your review I think I will love this second one, too! :) I'm planning to see it after Christmas so in the meantime I' staying away for everything spoilery :P<br />I watched the BBC Sherlock back when it first aired in UK and I'm trying very hard to make all my family and friends watch now that it's on the Italian TV. I think it's amazing.<br />Two very different kinds of Sherlock Holmes but both are great!<br /><br />Happy holidays,<br />- FlaviaFlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07521417818629049829noreply@blogger.com
