Sherlock 2 - something to look forward to

There seems to be a dearth of films on the horizon (Batman 3 is the only one I can think of tbh) so I wasn't displeased by this:

(http://io9.com/5820694/first-trailer-for-sherlock-homes-2-delivers-so-many-victorian-karate-chops)

I quite enjoyed the last one so I'll likely be going to the cinemafilm-theatre to see this. Downey's accent, whilst... good, still sadly leaves a lot to be desired (compare with Law's authentic and rather dapper delivery), but his perky roguishness (a la Iron Man, natch) is quite infectious, what.

Yes, I'm all in.

PS. Though "Game of Shadow Thrones Dice, Ice and Songs of Games" subtitle is rather lacklustre.

One of two Sherlock related releases this year that I'm looking forward to. :-)

Guy Ritchie. Sherlock Holmes.

Is nothing sacred?

Yeah... Wouldn't it be great if everything could be done in one way and one way only, and that way is the Right Way?

I understand if Sherlock Holmes purists may not be happy with Guy Ritchie's take on the character and stories - but it's not like his films will suddenly destroy every copy of Arthur Conan Doyle's books or the more respectful TV and film adaptations...

I`ve stopped raging about purity long time ago...well before Cthulhu become a pop-icon, even. It`s not that...just if you ever lived in the East End of London you`d be aware of how insufferable Guy Ritchie really is.

If not for him, I wouldn`t mind - I actually quite enjoyed The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen...

Oh yeah. Cthulhu as the cutesy geek icon is fucking obnoxious. :eww:

:(

Also, I had a blast with Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes even if he's a bit of a dick, so....lessee how the sequel fares. Hope Moriarty doesn't kick the bucket in just one film (though he'll probably will....*sighs*).

Every time I see this thread title, my brain does this.

Anyone else thought the trailer was way too long and gave away possibly every good scene in the movie?
