Re: I reveal no spoilers, but ask an obvious question... Camilla Send a noteboard - 29/12/2009 11:26:32 AM
Was their supernaturalness in the books? Inexplicable, illogical supernality?



I doubt this film is based on an individual story. There was never a supernatural explanation in any Holmes book. It is part of the convention of the genre that all mysteries must have rational explanations. In The Hound of the Baskervilles, for example, the idea of a spectral dog is presented only to be disproven.

I believe it is a convention of the rhetorical question that an answer is not actually invited. *NM* Ghavrel - 30/12/2009 11:15:09 AM 528 Views
I got annoyed when I was watching the movie for this reason Sports_Gambler - 31/12/2009 08:29:03 AM 891 Views

I would watch a sequel. Make a sequel, peoples! *NM* smaug - 28/12/2009 10:54:53 PM 587 Views
It made it's budget back in the opening weekend. I'd say a sequel is innevitable now. *NM* Wibble - 29/12/2009 05:00:18 PM 538 Views
Well they were shamelessly plugging a sequel in the last 5 minutes, so I expected no less *NM* smaug - 29/12/2009 06:23:42 PM 508 Views
It's interesting (possible spoilers?) Darth_Katie - 30/12/2009 12:23:29 AM 871 Views
Yes, but it took a while, and also no not really. Ghavrel - 30/12/2009 11:13:34 AM 742 Views
Oh yeah, that's right. Darth_Katie - 30/12/2009 04:37:21 PM 808 Views

The BF and I found it quite enjoyable. ajah - 29/12/2009 05:51:32 AM 823 Views
It's a good one. If you only have the budget for one movie, pick this one over Avatar. Gher - 29/12/2009 07:04:59 AM 875 Views

Just saw this tonight. It might well be one of the only good movies released in 2009. callandor1000 - 01/01/2010 05:55:48 AM 864 Views
You mean judged by the movies you decided not to go and see? *NM* ironclad - 01/01/2010 03:15:56 PM 549 Views
