Robert Downey jr. isn't being disrespectful. He has a fantastic British accent, I have heard it on You Tube. Please go to that sight and listen. Only a true Brit can actually make an opinion on his British accent. I am from England and now live in the USA. There are several different types of Brit accents, some of my family sound more Cockney English and others sound more proper or our Majestys' English. It all depends where in England you are from. I think he sounds fine and it doesn't offend me. That might be why one of the writers that was there ",said that all the actors (including the British ones) had different accents.' Because there are different types. He sounds fine - they shouldn't judge him. Mr.Downey isn't a Brit but he does a very good job at playing one. I am one person who will see the movie. Robert Downey Jr. will be a fantastic Sherlock Holmes.

I truly do agree with you freemachine. I am glad that Sherlock Holmes will have humor, action and mystery to it. That is even more a reason for me to go see it. I can't imagine RDJ doing a truly terrible movie. I believe he cares too much about every movie he does, he is a method actor. An actor does't lose that much weight to play a character , and change their looks so much for a movie, if they don't care about their fans and the movie itself. I am just impressed that he cared enough about us, his fans. Most actors just don't give a d**n. I'm with ya! Bring on the 'Humor', the 'Action' , and the ' Mystery' ! I can't wait!

I think the film is going to be fantastic and my family can't wait to go see it. I don't believe it is the POTC either, they made an idiotic comparison. It's not a Walt Disney movie and Robert Downey Jr. is not playing a drunken pirate in the movie - what Disney did was slapstik humor. This is a totally different type of humor altogether. You are right there are different types of humor and this will be a far more intelligent type of humor , it was made for a varing audience . I think Robert Downey Jr. does his best at any role placed in front of him. He appears to give 100 percent, he'll elevate the movie and save it if it needs saving. I feel it is worth going and seeing due to all the fabulous actors involved. You cannot judge or condemn a movie , in my opinion, on 2 minutes worth of trailer. Sometimes movies need to be both cerebral and humorous not just one or the other. I want to see one thats both. (thanks Christopher you helped make my day - intelligent comment!)

Peter, any news on when a teaser/trailer will be released for Sherlock Holmes?

he may have compared the humor to POTC...but we are talking about Ritchie's films and the fact it's not shocking he woud continue to use humor...there are many types of humor in film making...if it's more of broad action type of humor I can understand why it's being compared to Pirates...also the fact it's a period piece would follow that comparison...yet this is Ritchie he has adult humor which we'll most likely be seeing..minus gorey violence and cursing....along with the fact this a WB film not Disney so they're aiming for an older audience while still aiming for a PG-13 rating...

I wish Terminator 3 Rise of the Machines had never been born. It threw off the continuity!!!! However, me and the rest of the guys at the comic book store can't wait for the new one.

I like the comedy in Lock Stock and Snatch as much as the next guy, but since there is already a wonderful comedic SH movie with Ben Kingsly and Michael Caine called Without a Clue (and I'm assuming the Will Ferrell movie will be comedic) I was hoping this would be a little more raw. The POTC comparison has me worried too. Still, I think I'll go watch Without a Clue again.

Really disappointed to hear that about SH. It's a classic book and if Downey Jr. is playing respect to the most famous detective of all time by at least using a good accent, I'm hugely disappointed.

im sorry your taste in directing is so off kilter

"It felt a little like the humor of Disney’s Pirates of the Carribbean films"
I guess that counts me out. I hardly found those films funny at all. That style of humor becomes laboring after 30 minutes. I sure hope Sherlock Holmes is a bit more tasteful, or if it is meant the be humorous, I hope it actually IS.

Just didn't have the mass appeal to make any money.

I expect the trailer to be attached to Terminator Salvation

I'm shocked the machines haven't started getting into cloning...maybe that will be a storyline in the future

Well obviously I thought Snatch & Lock Stock were hilarious, but Peter compared the humor of Sherlock Holmes to POTC. That's way different than Snatch or Lock Stock.

I also thought Snatch and Lock Stock were hilarious, I LOL'ed so many times, too.

"Comical... bare-knuckle... slow motion... in-your-face editing... unbelievable accent..."

Noooooo, DUHHHHHHHH!!!! I just think that would be cool. Use your imagination

maybe, but that's unlikely to happen.

a voice over isn't the same as a speaking role, but I should have clarified, a BIGGER, hands-on role.

no need for name-calling, thanks... fucking idiot.

There aren't many storytellers worse than Guy Ritchie (I guess Joe Carnahan). If that's not important to the studio then they made the right choice. All the good directors must've passed. Downey could elevate it though.

Everytime I see the WB logo before a trailer get excited. I wish all the studios logos gave you that feeling. Sherlock Holmes, where the wild things are, harry potter, T4 - all looking to be excellent films. I expect Holmes to be very funny - most of Ritchie's films are.
