Sherlock Holmes First Trailer!

The first trailer for Sherlock Holmes has hit the web! It is...not what I expected actually. Very action heavy and lots of tongue-in-cheek humor from Robert Downey, Jr. For some reason, I was thinking it would be a serious film focusing on the drama involved, with much less explosions (and Holmes in a shirtless fist-fight?...hmm). Still, I think it has promise, even if it is not what I anticipated. Downey's Holmes has a very Bruce Campbell feel to him, which is a good thing in my book. Director Guy Ritchie hasn't had much success since his phenomenal Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch, so this flick could bring him his first hit in almost a decade. Rachel McAdams in lingerie will probably sell more tickets than anything, with good reason. Sherlock Holmes hits theaters on Christmas Day, 2009.
