Sherlock.

The books are great!!!

I also love the movies. The imaginary chess play and the possible fighting moves with Moriaty are good and like how Sherlock and Watson get portrayed

I love the show! He was all spoiler.... Goodbye John as the movie was all I'm going to jump randomly

The new movies are neutral at best, not bad but not the best either. They echo the books by some degree, and have a good balance of humor and action. Robert Downey Jr. doesn't exactly strike me as a Sherlock Holmes type of guy, though. Watson seems to me a bit more strict than I would have imagined as well. But overall it's not that bad.

But Sherlock is much better.
Though I do advice watching some of the old movies featuring Sherlock Holmes. Nothing is better than the books.

Yes I do agree, Robert Downey Jr isn't the type of man I would expect to play Sherlock - he's a great actor but he lacks the intense insanity and passion Bendict Cumberbatch delivers. However on the whole, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie.

I watched the first movie but didn't get around to the second.
I guess it was a great plot, but the actors just weren't the right ones for the job. Watson was all uptight and.. I dunno... sort of vague, if you know what I mean. I don't really know what I mean, so I doubt you will. All I know is, Martin Freeman is much better as Watson.
And Robert Downey Jr... Ugh. Did not strike me as the Sherlock type, especially after seeing Benedict Cumberpatch. He was slower, and mostly hit people.
The funny parts were funny, but then they just had to throw in a mostly-naked Sherlock moment. After that I was less impressed.
I must say I liked the Irene Addler in the movies. She's good in the show, I love her there, but the movie Irene is also awesome. The thing between her and Sherlock is a lot more intense in the show, though. In the movie it was like, ho-hum, what do you know, they love each other.

Also, in the books Irene is American. In the movie they followed this, but in the show she's British. What's up with that?

Welcome to the club!
Same here for everything you said, cumberbatch!

Username: Viszla7
Why: Because I absolutely love Sherlock Holmes, in each and every one of his incarnations. The original stories and the BBC adaptation are my favourite renditions, though, hands-down. I've read the stories at least twice each, and more for some, and BBC Sherlock... well, I've lost count. It's an amazing show -with excellent characterization, writing, acting (and actors... *cough*Benedict Cumberbatch <3*cough*), and, well, just everything.
how much have you watched: I've seen all of Season One 6 times, and the first two episodes of Season Two 4 and 5 times respectively. I've only watched Reichenbach twice. It's too painful. DX
