Ye...Whatever it was, it wasn't Sherlock Holmes. Yes, Holmes was a boxer and drug user and master of disguise and practiced pistol shooting in his house and so on, but come on, this wasn't Sherlock Holmes.<br /><br />Irene Addler, although forever remembered by Holmes as "the woman," was a one-off character, and they actually met Mary Marston, Watson's fiancee, as a client in a prior case, so she shouldn't have been a stranger to Holmes. Yes, I know, artistic license and all that, but, sorry, Sherlock Holmes isn't a Marvel comics superhero. Not all of Downey's characters have to be.<br /><br />And just to show I'm not a dogmatic old coot who can't stand new ideas, I loved Young Sherlock Holmes.<br /><br />I gave it 4 stars in Netflix only because 3.5 rounds up to 4. So it was a weak 4.mr. schprockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16216294034597931274noreply@blogger.com
