Squee for "Sherlock Holmes"

[rabidsamfan]

Yes, I enjoyed it. Might have enjoyed it more without the head cold. Yes, it isn't perfect, but boy does it leave you wanting more. Now, go!

Naw....I'm so happy for you that u have a movie for your fandom!!

I just got back from seeing it, and it lived up to all of my expectations. Granted, I'm not as big a Holmes fan as you, but I've read and liked all of the books, and I think they did a fabulous job. And I loved the soundtrack.

*bounce bounce bounce* I hope it makes lots of money so they do a sequel! Which it might, since I strongly suspect I'll be going to see it tomorrow night after work...

I love that they left it wide open for a sequel. I'm definitely going to see it again.

Do you have any idea who sang the "Rocky Road to Dublin", because it's not on the soundtrack. :(

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

They said during the credits... blast it, I can't remember. It's probably on the IMDb page, though.

Aha, the dubliners. http://www.inbaseline.com/project.aspx?view=AllCategoryCredits&project_id=187627

And it has a wiki page with the lyrics here:

That's great, thanks! I really like this song, I was dancing down the aisle to it when we were leaving theater and singing along, but the only version I've got is by the Dropkick Murpheys. And now I've got the right one. Whee!

The Clancy Brothers did one back in the '60s or thereabouts. But I wouldn't expect that one to still be around.

I know you've been waiting forever for that movie. Glad you enjoyed it!

*offers soft tissues and hot tea*

I have to wait until the 30th to see it with my brother. Waah!

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

Argh! I can't bounce at you till then, then!

I was pleasantly surprised. Not perfect, but really good. And Watson owies!! I'm definitely going to see it again!

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

I've gone twice already, but I don't think I've extracted all the joys from it yet.

[pebbles66.livejournal.com]

I saw it again yesterday. I'd have to say that there are still plenty of joys to be extracted! :D

Finally saw it myself. Woo hoo!

1) It's easier to find the 2-3 brief places in the movie that AREN'Tslashy as all get-out.

2) Loved Downey's full-throttle-Asperger's/OCD Sherlock.

3) Very, VERY important in an action film -- no gratuitous misogyny or homophobia.
