Have Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay teamed up to produce a new Sherlock Holmes movie?
After watching that trailer, I assumed so, but the new film is directed by Guy Ritchie — who has yet to recapture the magic of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
As someone with a more than passing interest in Sherlock Holmes, self-defense with a walking stick (or single-stick), and exotic weapons, I nonetheless do not want to watch a Holmes-Matrix mash-up with buddy-cop clichés borrowed from Lethal Weapon and Bad Boys. Sigh.
I won’t complain the Robert Downey Jr. is miscast though — not after Iron Man.
