Set in 1891 — a year after the last film’s events — the sequel shows Holmes continuing his pursuit of Professor Moriarty (played by Jared Harris), who, if the investigator’s instincts are correct, might be the world’s first supervillain. Watson, meanwhile, is still trying to be a good partner to his love, Mary Morstan (Kelly Reilly), while keeping Sherlock alive.


Check out the following video to find out who it is that will be back for the Guy Ritchie directed sequel.




Sherlock Holmes 2 is set to be released on December 16, 2011!

That first film was everything but Sherlock Holmes, once again they simply took a well known brand name and made it into another action comedy. Worse Sherlock Holmes adaptation I've ever seen!

Ceejay - NerdAlert has a point. While they did (for lack of a better word) 'modernize' CERTAIN aspects to spark interest in the film, the core of the characters remain true. The deerstalker cap wearing, meerschaum pipe-smoking Homles of Basil Rathbone (while excellent and one of my favorites growing up as a kid) isn't necessarily 'spot-on' with the original stories. Watson wasn't the bumbing idiot made out by Nigel Bruce, but an intelligent colleague and ally. As for the fighting, even though he never actually fought in the stories (aside from the scuffle on the the cliff's edge), Holmes KNEW how to defend himself - both he and Watson had ENDLESS discussions on the subject. Even in the Jeremy Brett version (my ALL-TIME favorite), Holmes demonstrates his skills thusly:



Read (or RE-read) the stories - I think you'll be pleasantly surprised...

loganoneil@ Jeremy Brett rules!:) In my opinion best Sherlock Holmes ever. Basil Rathbone was good too.

Alex - TOTALLY AGREE! Jeremy is ABSO-@#$!-ing-LUTELY BRILLIANT! Basil is... well, BASIL! He's kind of like the Sean Connery of Sherlock Holmes, isn't he? He did it first! I just felt there was something missing in the performance - not from him per se, but from Nigel Bruce. I know the 'powers that be' wanted their Watson to be an idiot, but it seems almost limiting to have an actor of Rathbone's caliber there with nothing but the Victorian equivalent to Forrest Gump to play off of! Could you just imagine how much more facinating those films would have been if they had the Watson of Richie's films backing up Rathbone?

Johhny - You have the good-fortune of living in an area that gets UK broadcasting! I'm stuck here in the States where we get nothing but scraps on BBC America, so I haven't had the pleasure of seeing this latest vesion of the world's greatest detective! How is it in comparison with its predecessors? I've heard a lot of promising things about this series...

I don't get it, who's the cameo? If it was Mcadams was she not supposed to be in this film? O_o

i got the dvd for christmas, really didn't think that we would get it. the show is great, i prefer it over the period films that all sherlock movies are, this show puts sherlock in the 21st century with texting, internet. the first two episodes are almost identitcal to the first two stories but with minor differences. sherlock has a day job in a hospital lab, which also means that he can easily get into a morgue.

but with an added twist three of the characters have blogs:

Watson
http://www.johnwatsonblog.co.uk/

Sherlock
http://www.thescienceofdeduction.co.uk/

And Molly hooper (the girl at the hospital who has a crush on sherlock
http://www.mollyhooper.co.uk/

these websites give you an inside look into the characters private lives, what we don't see on screen.

when it all comes down to it i prefer this show over the movie, because we see sherlock in an environment that we don't usually see him in

loganoneil@ Yes i can!:) That was exactly the problem with Rathbone´s Holmes movies. Watson was dumb as hell. So dumb it went over the top. Bruce´s acting was good, but the character didnt do justice to the real Watson.
The Hound of Baskerville is still my favorite from Rathbone and Bruce.

Alex - As you well know, Watson is supposed to represent the 'every-man' - the link with which the audience can identify with, giving Conan Doyle the perfect vehicle for exposition into Holmes' brilliant mind. It's a pity (and rather insulting, if you think about it) that the studio at the time didn't think the audience was smart enough to 'get' Watson, but rather settled on dumbing him down to the lowest common demoninator!
