    I've liked three Guy Ritchie movies (Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, and Rock 'n' Rolla). But I'm not sure I like this idea. Or approve.

    Swept Away is one I'll never watch, but I do have an interest in seeing Revolver.

    He's nearly godawful now, but I think this might be a change of things as I don't think it was written by him.

    It looks vaguely 1890's to me. What do you mean?
    I was thinking late-early 1900's, especially the hat.

    i'm sure the vast majority of people would not be able to differentiate late-early 1900s clothing and clothing from the late 1800s

    Well, they deliberately want him to look more modern than his usual portrayal, anyway.
    Quote Quoting Donald Glover
    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    Well, I'm no expert, but I think 8 is right - they are definitely making him "cooler". The book Holmes is a perfectly by the book gentleman in public, and that poster screams "nothing but".

    They're focusing on his bohemian persona. Druggie, sarcastic, quirky, somewhat of a nutjob, and a martial arts enthusiast who enjoys bare-knuckle boxing. Basically, an asskicking House.

    The film is said to be big on action and comedy.

    No, it's based on an unpublished comic book the screenwriter made.

    Despite liking much of the talent involved, I just can't bring myself to think this movie will be good.

    It seems like a clusterfuck of too many elements that won't mesh together.

    But hey, I'm totally open to a great surprise.

    This movie will be like a summer party in Jesus Christ's backyard (he does the barbecuing!) with Bruce Springsteen providing live entertainment, and everyone leaves the party with their true love, with whom they return home and have the best sex of their lives.

    that explains a lot. the shot, the one sheet, the "They're focusing on his bohemian persona. Druggie, sarcastic, quirky, somewhat of a nutjob, and a martial arts enthusiast who enjoys bare-knuckle boxing." scream more super-hero than victorian sleuth.

    We've seen bad trailers before turn into average movies. Btw, what is up with the slow-mo during that fist fight? I didn't see anything to stare at and it feels like they're just slowing down time for the hell of it.

    Guy Ritchie is paying tribute to Snatch.

    Which, if you remember, is his own movie.

    That shot with the hammers has earned this movie my $10 and 3 hours of my time.
