FIRST LOOK

Alex, you say, "so don't start criticizing the look of these two just yet," and "it's almost a bad thing to be criticizing the look of these two this early." Are we to take this that you don't approve of the costumes in the film, the look of the actors, what? Just say what you mean and stop trying to make it sound like you're NOT being critical when you obviously are. By the way, I have no complaints with how the characters look, and judging from the board, no one else does either.

I think they look great. Jude looks more Watson than RDJ looks Holmes, but I'm not quibbling. It'll all come together once it's on the big screen. Looking forward to it.

Holy balls, Rachel McAdams is going to look so friggin' hot in this movie. With that being established, I think Jude Law's a good choice. I've always imagined Watson to be that of a short stout looking man, but I think the on screen chemistry between Downey and Law will turn out pretty fun. Its a bit too early to tell, but starting off I think they have a good chance. I can understand your hesitation Alex, cause it seems that you'll get those posts where people totally bash the movie and seem to boycott it from just seeing a few bootleg photos. If anybody starts making judgement calls on what this movie is going to be like by just seeing set photos like these really isn't giving the film much chance - especially when you're dealing with such a creative and colorful direction style of Ritchie's. I wouldn't worry if people would start 'bashing' the photos. They should enjoy them for what they are - behind the scenes production stills - but if they don't they're pretty impatient and ignornant to be able to predict how the entire film will turn out, just from what jacket downey is wearing, or how thick Law's mustache is(I'm laying the sarcasm in real thick here). So give it some time, internet fanboys with insatiable thirsts, let them actually MAKE the movie(or at least a trailer), then you can start bitching.

I dig the Günther-esque porno 'stache on Jude Law. Just waiting for him to bust out with the Ding Dong Song.

I want Jude law to wear more red and say "It's Ame MARIO!"

When I see Jude Law as Watson... I see Freddy Mercury

I love Jude Law: http://apps.facebook.com/lovecinema/celebrity/profile/Jude-Law--1972

What the fuck is this. Downey as Holmes ? He looks nothing like Doyle described Holmes in the books. And Jude Law as watson ??? Now that Mcadams is in it they will probably let her and holmes get it on which is the opposite his personality in the books. This looks like a total failure.

These two + Guy Ritchie doing Sherlock Holmes?!?!?!! This will be... REALLY entertaining if nothing else.

In the books, Sherlock Holmes is a brooding, lonely, opium-addict... Who just happens to be a well-studied detective. Robert Downey Jr. maybe an opium addict... But he can't convey the melancholy that made Sherlock Holmes such an interesting character. And on a basic level, he looks nothing like the Holmes described in Doyle's books. In fact, it's Jude Law who should be Sherlock Holmes!! Right off the bat, he looks like the character. But more importantly, he's a natural at conveying darkness/charm/intelligence. Read the books, & watch Jude Law in "Gattaca". You'll get what I mean.
