Missing Benedict Cumberbatch For 21 Mins (Sherlock Holmes Commentary/Reaction) *First Time Reaction*

[@DopeSauceBenevolence]

“Not modern day.” You’d hate almost every Sherlock show and movie ever made then.

[@jakeoo7tupperware]

She would hate Agatha Christie's Poirot series. She thinks Benedict Cumberbatch did the first Sherlock role and it was written 5 years ago? Arthur Conan Doyle will cry in his crave at the ignorance of the TikTok generation. People who grew up thousands of miles away from Britain know Sherlock Holmes and Poirot.

[@mareiramv]

A lot of people seems to get the Mary deduction dinner moment wrong and I do not understand why. "You asked for it!" yes, she did ask for it, but Sherlock did it in a way to make it purposefully uncomfortable. Also, the very original Sherlock Holmes (from the books) belongs to the old times not the modern.

[@CoL_Drake]

its a good movie its not fair to compare them

[@niketesambrosiosdelagrece2266]

Yeah both are completely different and both great. I like Cumberbatch's Sherlock but I love this movies. Waiting for 3rd Sherlock movie for 13 years.... :( 🤣

[@jackholford]

A series to check out that's been mentioned a few times here is elementary. Another modern take on sherlock with a few changes to it but they work so well. Worth the watch

[@HonkHonkler]

Not saying modern Sherlock Holmes media can't be down, but there's a bigger level of imagination and thought that goes into having it set in the past. None of the convivences of modern tech to help, nothing say that's all a modern Sherlock would use, but it certainly simplifies things more. Being set in a time where electricity wasn't really a thing, cellphones didn't exist. fingerprint and DNA tech wasn't a thing, cars weren't the thing etc. Shows the strength of the writer to have to craft a very compelling and complex mystery that Holmes solves on brains/knowledge of the globe he lives in alone.

[@b.u.l.1734]

RDJ actually won a Golden Globe for his performance as Sherlock in this movie.

[@MobiusPhoenix]

Well, if you go into a movie with already established biases then, although that is your prerogative, it is not fair to form an opinion of that movie. Personally, I do believe Benedict’s Sherlock is my favorite however I love RDJ’s version as well, particularly the second movie in the series. Both versions have their own place in my heart.

[@EllieroseReacts]

Was kinda the joke bestie

[@jimganiatsas715]

Did you like the first fight

[@HonkHonkler]

Ma'am, you are aware BBC's Sherlock was not the creation of the character, right? He's a icon fictional British novel character from the old series. The setting is pretty much one to one.

[@wardjunior1450]

Bloody love these films.

[@1990Jwood]

I'd second Elementary. I've always thought it was a good Holmes adaptation

[@Otto42]

If you want a different take on it, then watch the TV Series Elementary. It is very different, but it is very good.

[@aphextwin5712]

Maybe to anchor expectations, Elementary has a genius and socially difficult Sherlock, incorporates many of the classics storylines but is filmed and tells stories in a conventional way without visual effect, flashbacks and so on.

[@hint1k]

Well, there is whole series of movies where you can see both "Sherlocks" and both "Watsons" at the same time - Marvel Cinematic Multiverse.

[@bungle0h521]

for another modern day interpretation of Sherlock Holmes, look into Elementary is an American show, but they do have a British actor playing Sherlock may not be your cup of tea, but just a thought

[@EmmaRiddle543]

You should check out jeremy Brett’s sherlock series. He is considered the closest to the books. And it’s with Granada so you won’t have to worry about the bbc.

[@-R.Gray-]

If you check out a few episodes of the Jeremy Brett Sherlock series, you might get to like him in that role (but it is set in the original time period). His angular features seemed to fit the character. Those were based more on the original Sherlock stories, and there aren't all the modern special effects.

[@robertorodriguez749]

Maybe she have to read the books before.

[@amandac.d.4216]

Yess, Jeremy is my favorite TV version of Sherlock! He was _almost_ perfect (the only "problem" to me was that he was a little too old, considering that Sherlock is still in his twenties in the first book. Other than that, Jeremy *is* Sherlock!)

[@italexs_]

This would have to be my one of favorite movie mommy

[@maire9990]

Its sad that people tend to compare sherlock holmes adaptations. Im a HUGE fan of the books and have liked most adaptations and i think thats the beauty of it. They all bring something new to the story. My all time fav adaptations are the granada holmes series, The private life of Sherlock Holmes and the BBC Sherlock (Mostly the earlier seasons), but i think these movies are good aswell!

[@VonBlade]

I don't think it's a coincidence that those of us who love the Canon, and also the Jeremy Brett Holmes, love the earlier seasons of Sherlock more than the latter. (The BBC Radio series with Clive Merrison is equally fabulous, if you don't mind the lack of visuals)

[@TimedRevolver]

The second film is worth it. Moriarty is fantastic. You'll definitely like how he's portrayed.

[@fattestofrats9394]

Sherlock and Co is a rlly good one to follow up BBC Sherlock with. It's a podcast, so idk if you could react to it, but its a great show and rlly underrated, great cases, good voice acting and great characters.

[@whitelytr]

Again, u need to review ELEMENTARY! I have always been obsessed with Sherlock Holmes, since i was young. And Elementary did not disappoint! I didnt know how Lucy Liu would work out as Watson? But once u get with it? She's brilliant 😀

[@robertjames6936]

I personally think the RDJ movies are much better. But I still love Sherlock so much.

[@b.u.l.1734]

The thing about the show is that it completely goes off the rails in the later seasons. These RDJ movies are consistently good.

[@evanflynn4680]

There's even a Sherlock Holmes movie starring Sir Ian McKellen. It's about his last case. "Mr Holmes" 2015.

[@ruskaaaax3]

my favourite sherlock holmes who i've seen is probably jeremy brett, who played him in the 1980s, that series is a lot more calm in its tone like it's not action-movie-ish like this film and even bbc sherlock (which i both love, too), so you do have to get used to the pace after the modern stuff, but i do think brett plays sherlock very well and really Gets the character and cares about him, it's very book-accurate too, if you'd like to see what the original stories were like. i'd love it if you reacted to it after the next movie if you wanna check it out. there's a playlist on youtube with all the episodes, just search "granada sherlock holmes" or "jeremy brett sherlock holmes" or something like that and it should come up :)

[@juggernautomnimedia1038]

I agree that you might enjoy an older classic take on the characters. Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a vintage black and white classic. Rathbone did 14 Sherlock Holmes movies.

[@b.u.l.1734]

Jared Harris (from the 2nd movie) is such a much better Moriarty than the one from the show, who was cringe as hell.

[@wholockedholmes5600]

You might enjoy the second one more. It's a much faster film, the conflict isn't as dragged on (especially since there's not as much 'occult' gibberish,) the action is fun with great set pieces, and the Watson and Holmes banter makes it much more enjoyable since they're together more in the second film. It's definitely the more engaging out of the two films.

[@Kachiun0]

I found these films fun, but for me, Young Sherlock Holmes will always be my top Holmes movie. This film is how I always remember when Tower Bridge was built.

[@HonkHonkler]

Also these are like 90 minute films, there's only so much they can so and only so many characters get a scene/line. You're comparing a show to a film. A show gets to explore more of the characters continuous because it's like a new novel every new episode in the universe. Makes sense. These are 90 minute Hollywood blockbusters meant to entertain in that time frame. So they focus only the important of important with namesake being the most important. So they're gonna take up most the screen time.

Downey's second Sherlock movie is better and gave me a good feeling, so I can recommend it. I would really love to see a third movie with Robert. And I hope - of course - Benedict & Martin come back somewhen to make more SHERLOCK!

What a shock... It's almost like the same thing happens in female-aimed media, but without the same respect of making the male characters a form of motivation or making up for the female characters' short-comings because women write from a place of self-insert insecurity rather than you know... COMPELLING and SMART. They go for emotion and wish fulfillment at the expense of logic.

[@GamingCinematica]

I love them both, but I saw the RDJ films first so I prefer him to Benedict Cumberbatch. Maybe that’s why we’re opposites bestie Random fun fact, my physics teacher in school went to uni with Benedict Cumberbatch and used to refer to him as “Ben” as if she knew him really well😭

[@HonkHonkler]

NAH, this Holmes is superior lol. Not $hitting on Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock, he's a great actor, but if I'm being honest it's like CW Sherlock for women... Best way I can put it lol. MODERNIZED. Not only is these films set in the correct time of the Sherlock novels, but I like RDJ's interpretation of Holmes kind of being a partly deranged, anti-social/awkward half man-child genius that's a savant in many things, but a big ego because of it.

I can never tell if this is an unpopular opinion or not because I have seen different reactions in different places, but I quite liked Elementary. Its another modern day interpretation starring Jonny Lee Miller as Holmes and Lucy Liu as Joan Watson. It has a little bit more of a focus on Sherlock's addiction, but it is still a detective show and Jonny Lee Miller does a good job with his interpretation of the character.

[@johndaily263]

I loved Elementary, but I’ve found the rewatchability to be quite low for some reason. I can watch (most) episodes of Sherlock over and again.

@@kaigunnarsson7148 I mean they do give an explanation pretty early on about why he needed to relocate from London to New York and that reason is fleshed out further as the show goes on. However, I do understand how New York gives the show a different vibe from all of the versions set in London.

[@chrislaustin]

I started off watching the Basil Rathbone version of Holmes from the late 30's early 40's as a kid. Cumberbatch was amazing, but an actor is only as good as the material given, and Shelocks end for me didn't match the start. RDJ is an amazing actor and no real issues with either of his films, just not enough of them I suppose. And Johnny Lee Miller of Elementary is maybe my favorite of the bunch, just because you got to spend more time with said version and got to see a larger character arc. Each is their own version and each is well worth a watch so long as your a fan of the character in general.

[@mrwatermelo50]

People dont like that, you as the viewer, dont get the clues to follow along. He just stares at things and you need to kind of guess, but this version feels more of a John poV. I like my Holmes more in the late 19 hundreds early 20er years. And I like Robert as Holmes with Jude as Watson, tho they indeed dont hold a candle to Benedict and Martin. They are filming a third one rn. I am not the this or that is better kind of guy, more of the thing I like is better :)

This movie and RDJ made Sherlock Holmes in-vogue again. I love Benedict's Holmes series but it came later. The later episodes of that became too unbelievable and a drag. RDJ creates successful multi-billion franchises. This is the thing with tik-tok generation. They know little about the history of the movies and they don't know what came first and the context.

[@HonkHonkler]

I don't prefer it modern day, that's so... CW. No offense, but it's very simplistic. Also I'm a history buff. Also Tom Holland, Andrew Garfield, Christian Bale and Robert Patterson are all British lol. They've all played American made superheroes in live-action films respectively, Spider-Man & Batman. Bale even being Patrick Bateman, the lead in the classic satirical, psychological thriller novel turned film film: _American Psycho_ This is not new.

[@kaigunnarsson7148]

[@BillTheScribe]

The Sherlock series took the original stories and twisted them in ways that made the familiar and fresh for those of who knew them. They did a great job overall. The RDJ movies are took the characters we knew and put them into something new. These do fit the books a little more closely than the TV series. The series from the 1980's with Jeremy Brett is the most faithful to the books overall. They were really good, but they are very not what you're used to here. You'll probably dislike hos slow they are, and they are set in Victorian times. If you want to experience the actual stories, but don't want to read them. The Brett Series is a reasonable choice. You'll 100% HATE the TV show Elementary. It's set in the modern world, but in a funhouse mirror way. The characters are all distorted. For example... Holmes has tattoos and Watson is his addiction councilor. It was good for a while, and a really interesting take on the characters, but there is nothing about what you loved from The BBc Sherlock series. The movies from the 1940's with Basil Rathbone twists the relationship to the point that Watson is little more than at stumbling buffoon. You'll probably hate them too.

[@marciebulsaraorcutt]

I DO SO AGREE… I DO like the actors in this movie (when they’re playing other roles)… But for me, Benedict is the ULTIMATE Sherlock Holmes (Then, in Second Place or possibly even tied for First Place with Benedict, is Jeremy Brett from the “Granada” Sherlock Holmes TV series - I think they were filmed in the 1980s?) …I also agree that the Young Sherlock Holmes movie is great! …The other two “Sherlock Holmes renditions” that I appreciate because they address other aspects of Sherlock’s character, are: A movie titled “The Seven Percent Solution” (I think it was filmed in the 1970s?) …which addresses Sherlock’s often-overlooked relationship with drugs… And then lastly, the movie - just titled Mr. Holmes - about an elderly Sherlock Holmes nearing the end of his career, played by Sir Ian McKellen. Oh AND… Re. those Sherlock Holmes-related Netflix movies/series: Enola Holmes and… The Irregulars …With Enola Holmes, I can actually “live with” Henry Cavill playing Sherlock (I just WISH it were Benedict!😄) …But, The Irregulars!! It’s really TOO BAD, because the show has a neat premise based on Sherlock’s Homeless Network … but that’s the ONLY “good” thing about a disaster of a show that made Dr. Watson into a Person Of Color.😖
