seriously?
dude, this movie is anything but boring...
its action/adventure packed and is something you CANNOT get bored with.
you can have your own opinion, but i think you're making a big mistake in excluding this movie from your favorites
Watson: Get that out of my face.
Holmes: Its not in your face, its in my hand.
Watson: Get what's in your hand out of my face.

I didn't like this movie. It was like "Sherlock Holmes for people with ADD." But most of my friends loved it. =P
BD will come to those that wait - and I will wait
Pythonofdoom, why don't you sit this one out, before you humiliate yourself further.
Anyway, this film is many things, but never "boring". I enjoyed seeing it in the theater, but it doesn't particularly warrant repeat viewings. Might rent it again in five years!

Blu-Ray sucks. I've heard lots of people say that when you compare it to a standard DVD, there isn't that big of a difference, they look the same. As far as Sherlock Holmes goes, why couldn't they at least squeeze the deleted scenes onto the DVD, as many bare-bones DVDs only include deleted scenes.
Apple and oranges.
For the most part the extras used on Blu are NOT native to the format. It's about depriving DVD owner; an arm twist to upgrade. What makes it worse is the fact that Blu-Ray isn't the breadwinner, DVD is. It's like you're at the starting line of a city marathon. The starter's pistol is fired and as everyboody takes their first step a winner is declared and given the key to the city by the mayor. Everybody is shocked, confused and pissed. HE/SHE didn't win the race, but officials are acting as if the person did. This is how we, DVD owners feel. Blu-Ray hasn't earned that position to take away materials.
By the way, don't compare VHS to DVD, please. Not the same, at least both DVD and Blu are optical - not magnetic. The upgrade was so obvious, no actual argument could be made for cassette. And that upgrade required just a player, not a new television and gear. How riled up would Blu-Ray owners become if they saw a fellow playing Blu movie on a tube TV? No audio system attached, just the television's speakers.
I've been accused of hating Blu-Ray. I don't, it's just another format. What bothers me is the mentality of those make who them. A kind of arrogance. Blu isn't King, stop acting like it is. The mind set boarders on elitism.

Are they really f'ing over fans who haven't upgraded to blu-ray ? I don't recall this same argument when DVD started. VHS was, at the time, THE format. I don't remember people crying that dvd was having more features, of features at all, when VHS was popular. Neither do I remember any outrage over the features of laserdisc over VHS.

Don't get me wrong...I love Robert Downey Jr. Can't wait for "Iron Man 2."
Okay film. Definitely worth a rental.
Hmm, that seems pretty lacking in features.. Even for the BluRay crowd.. Could it be that they're holding on features for inevitable bluray double dips already??
I can see why this was announced so soon tho. A really great and clear dvd screener has been floating around for the last couple weeks now.

Pass.
Really just plain fun flick. Definitely worth revisiting.
Inspector Lestrade: In another life, Mr. Holmes, you would have made a great criminal.
Sherlock Holmes: Yes, and you, a great police officer.

I am with the boring crowd. This just didnt do much for me. I found it to be a tired movie. I dont quite know what it was but i was put off by it

Wow so will get both DVD and a digital copy with the Blu-ray thats nice. I'll probably pick this up as I love Robert Downy.
this was a good movie. RDJ is brilliant, even though he plays a british version of Tony Stark. I really liked this movie though and i'll probably buy it at some point.
Really enjoyed this film. Fantastic martial arts, edge of your seat suspense, entertaining storyline, great acting, soundtrack that matches the action and sexy Rachel McAdams. They also captured the industrial revolution perfectly! I want to visit London so bad. Well England in general.
Bring on the sequel!

Warners wants to head off piracy as best as they can. I mean Paramount announced "Stardust" on DVD in August 2007 (barely a week after it opened), then pulled it for a while.
The window between theatrical releases and DVD/Blu/VOD is shortening. Warners announced "I am Legend" around this timeframe for the DVD/Blu/HD release in late March.

Zimmer's music oddly amazing. great use of the unorthodox orchestra. favorite score of last year
after the copy and paste nonsense Horner did with Avatar it's good to see a composer that actually tries to do something different

What are you whining about? All the Blu-ray owners have as extras are deleted scenes and a Maximum Movie Code. Usually, I'd see if the DVD was barebones and the Blu-ray would have a plethora of extras. But, this is not the case here.

Must have a small attention span then. Slow at times yes, but very entertaining even though they changed a few things from the source material.
You're right, it must be my attention span. How else could one explain my deep love for Terrence Malick films.
I just thought this movie really lacked a pulse and was totally forgettable. And yet it is still the best flick Ritchie has put out since Snatch.

I thought this felt like it was about an hour too long. and Robert Downey Jr. was the only good thing in it. Pass for me.
I love this movie. can't wait for it to arrive to DVD and Blu-ray

Wow this release was faster than you can say "still in theaters". I never got around to seeing it, but will rent it. It looked decent by the trailers, but not something I'd spend more than five dollars on. Glad to see they kept the theatrical artwork.

i'll pick it up like the dvd/blu ray combo
Might pass or wait till they release the whole story in one set.
If "Avatar" is going to be on hold for a long time, and they're already announcing December releases, it's time as well to hear an announcement for "Alvin and the Chipmunks 2."

That was a quick announcement. I won't say I hated the movie, but they REALLY could've made it better. I'm a big Guy Ritchie fan and I walked out dissapointed.
I enjoyed the film, but unless there is some kind of exclusive (2-disc or Steelbook) I'll wait for a price drop on it. Downey Jr. though really was excellent as Holmes.
That was a fast release. Its still playing in most theaters around me.

Maximum Movie Mode, sweet.
Never saw it, but I'm slightly interested. Everyone, even my teacher, were going crazy about it before the release.
This has been in theatres for barely a month! It's still playing on 2700 screens. Why do they do this?
