With you, OP.

Usually, I get at least a little bit annoyed with movies that are full of homoerotic subtext but never dare to actually explicitly state that a character is anything but heterosexual.

BUT

This movie... Holmes is in love with Watson. It's really, really obvious. They made it about as clear as they possibly could without having him actually say it, and I'm pretty sure I read that Guy Ritchie was told that if he did something like that, he couldn't make the movies. (Yep. Here: http://www.sherlockholmeswiki.com/page/Will+Sherlock+Holmes+be+Gay%3F) And, well, with the time period it's set in, it would be kind of difficult to have an explicit romance without the entire plot revolving around it more so than it does now, and Sherlock Holmes is supposed to be about mystery-solving.

If you read between the lines, though, both movies really come off as either the aftermath of really bad breakup (wherein Watson either got tired of Holmes's shit and broke things off and found a wife, or panicked about being with a man and broke things off and found a wife, and Holmes still won't let it go) or two friends who are so close to being more than that, if Watson would take the risk and admit to his own feelings and if Holmes could just be a little more... tolerable.
