Take Two: Sherlock Holmes

There are so many more fascinating things about the 2009 version of Sherlock Holmes than there are in the 2009 version of Sherlock Holmes, and that's backwards. Like the fact that it made over half a billion dollars worldwide, despite the fact that it's very boring. Or the fact that it somehow made Guy Ritchie -- who had previously been all but written off -- an A-list director. Or that it coasts on the not-insubstantial charm of Robert Downey Jr., who is the only thing worth seeing about the movie despite being kind of miscast, and who was written off himself at one point in time. The movie is a triumph of comeback potential. It should be so good. It is not.

It made a bunch of money, though, and people really like Robert Downey Jr. (he's maybe just behind Johnny Depp in the dreamboat-it's-ok-to-like-for-both-girls-and-guys department), so, of course, there's a sequel coming out this week. That's right: more Holmes for the Holidays. Excuse me while I barf on this pile of other barf.
