I saw this too...didn't quite float my boat though. The dialogue was mostly good, I'll give ya that. But the rest just seemed wrong...it didn't set the right mood for me at all.

^I thought the same thing.... it was pretty good but seemed to drag on a bit, and wasn't really Sherlock Holmes like I knew him from the books. I do love me some Robert Downey Jr. though.

Oh, and there was an almost shamefully obvious plug for a sequel at the end. I hate it when movies do that.

entertaining watch. fairly simple but well made. clooney was great as usual.

Hey, I just checked out Twilight from the library a week ago, and was surprised to find I liked it a lot, too! More than New Moon, which is the latest movie I watched (2 days ago).

I just finished the Twilight book yesterday and realize now why fans were disappointed with the movie: much of the dialogue between Bella and Edward was cut out in the movie, making their impassioned love connection seem less probable. One thing I *did* like about Twilight, the movie, is that Bella is shown to be vegetarian, although she is *not* vegetarian in the book. I think the movie makers made this change to try to provoke some thought about the ethical issues of killing/eating/food choices and add a layer of depth missing from the books. Edward and his vampire family are to the majority of vampires, who never question being predators of humans, as vegans and vegetarians are to most humans, who rarely question being predators of non-human animals. As a vegan, I of course picked up on this issue right away.

I agree Robert Pattinson (Edward) makes a very pretty vampire. He also played Cedric in the Harry Potter series. I didn't realize that until recently. I just remember, while watching a Harry Potter movie, thinking what a beautiful person Cedric was. He looked so clean-cut and heroic!

Yeah I know what you're saying. I was on the fence about wither I wanted to read the book first or watch the film, I've watched the film now and I think that's better because then the book will seem amazing to me :). So I'm not fussed. It was an awesome film, and I'm persuading my mum to go see new moon with me tomorrow haha! :D

Clooney was great as usual? Ocean's Eleven was good, Burn After Reading was good.

Urm.. I'm stuck after that. :confused:

as a personal performance. i dont judge actors based on how good their movies are. he can act. but my favorites are Micheal Clayton, Syriana and "Good Night, and Good Luck"

I never thought of Clooney as being a particular good actor but then again I don't set out to really watch his films after a few absolute shambles I've seen.

Twilight felt like a drawn out episode of some teenage drama like Dawson's Creek - only more embarassing because it had an emo moralistic vampires in it that glitter in sunlight. Bloody hell. I mean - it's too embarassing to me, but it has production value and if you don't think it's embarassing, then I can see why the movie might have some appeal. Still, I don't get why teenagers would go ape**** over it ..

Seriously, bland drama with vampires. For love stories, there are better films out there. For vampires, there are also better films out there. Even mixing the two, there are better films out there. I don't get it, but then again I'm not a teenager.


I wanna watch Sherlock Holmes. I've read quite a few of the stories and watching the trailer, he doesn't seem like the Holmes I know - a character who strives to remove all emotions from his life so that they won't interfere with his skill at reasoning and deduction. Still, I guess it might be fun so I'll just try and lower my expectations for the character and hope for a funny film.

This might have to be my favorite movie of all time.
