Robert John Downey Jr. is an Academy Award-nominated and Golden Globe-winning American actor and sometimes, musician. His breakout role was a movie called Less Than Zero, where he played a high-society yuppie burnout – the movie was a self-fulfilling prophecy. Or so it seemed for a while. He eventually cleaned up and starred on the television series Ally McBeal as well as in a number of supporting and lead film roles, including the blockbuster smash, Iron Man.

tMF Controversial: What? There's gay undertone in the latest Sherlock Holmes trailer?

I've been reading a couple of movie blogs and finding out what's their take on the latest Sherlock Holmes trailer. One of the most intriguing just got to be Movieline's post, which I'm quoting below:

It's been a long, interesting ride for the Sherlock Holmes promotional campaign, which began with a shot of Robert Downey Jr stripped to the waist and now finishes with a final trailer full of homoerotic banter. "This is not your father's Sherlock Holmes!" the trailer cries. "Did your father's Sherlock Holmes flirt with Watson all day?

Other blogs are not as provocative as Movieline's take on the latest trailer. Total Film simply took note of the additional scenes and the music, saying: There are a few more story fragments and a snippet or two of fresh footage, but it's largely what we've seen before, albeit with the action ramped up and the music more boisterous...

So, what do you think? Oh, yeah you need to watch the trailer! More views after the jump!

There seems to be some who think this looks like a daft messing around with the whole Holmes legacy, and others who quite like that the look of what Ritchie has done here. The trump card is likely to be Robert Downey Jr, who we'd pay to watch read the phone book at times.

You can find the trailer below, and if rumours are to be believed, then a sequel is already in the early stages of script and story work too. [ read more ]


I guess you only need to look closely at the latest poster above to get some clue. But then again, a poster nor a trailer is not substantial enough to judge the merits of this film. However, some of us have been known to decide on whether a movie is good or bad simply by doing 'trailer watching'.
