I read it being described as being very faithful to the old stories by contrast with the 100 years or so of unfaithful adaptations - but I don't know if this was tongue in cheek or sincere. I wouldn't have cast these two as Holmes and Watson but I'm really excited by the trailers. I really rate Guy Ritchie and the cast is good - especially Jude Law and Rachel McAdams - and I can see Downey Jr doing quite a flamboyant, Willy Wonka-ish Holmes.... hmm. I'm fairly certain it's going to be better than both Without A Clue and Young Sherlock Holmes but I'm equally sure I won't like it as much as those old Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce ones.
