Before to us the modern generation we know Serlock Holems as a boring old guy with a deerstalker hat and pipe with his eye glued to a magnifing glass but that all changed when people hered about the "New" Sherlock Holems . Fans divided like the seas in exodus(story in the Bible) on one side modern people like us who like action and hot actors (like RDJ) and welcomed the movie ,others thought it was destroing sir Conhan Doyals version of the character which is'nt actual true the orginal character actually studied Kung Fu.
Which ever side your on its your opinion.I will tell you I have the original Basil Rothborne Volumes of Sherlock Holems they are so slow and theres no action.
