kat8cha...I DON'T CARE. IT'S AN ADAPTATIOn.
A.DAP.TA.TION.
It's an adaptation of one of the MOST ADAPTED CHARACTERS OF ALL TIME. Do you know how hard it is to be original with such a character? Original and GOOD?
I don't care what you all think, EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT EVERY TIME I TURN AROUND SOME ONE IS RAGING ABOUT IT NOT BEING HOLMES.
And I know I should ignore it. I'm working on it.
Movies aren't written for *you*. Not *you* who would prefer to read a book, especially a classic, and think movie adaptations suck. They're not written for people who don't like explosions, or a good fight scene, or slapstick.
They're written for mindless sheep who will blow 9 dollars on a ticket.
They're written WELL so that the idiot comes back, so the writers don't have to hide their head in shame, and maybe so you'll buy the DVD when you get over your righteous complaints.
All you have seen is the trailer. Which, you know, made me fangasm.
My mother, an English teacher of SEVERAL YEARS turned to me with a laugh and said 'Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would approve'.
And honestly? Her opinion? Counts for a hell of a lot more than yours.
