Russian Sherlock Holmes

(Anonymous) 2013-09-22 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Your expectations, f!s? Is anyone looking forward to seeing it?

I'm Russian, and, tbh, I'm both touched and amused when I encounter fans from other countries who say that they're happy to have another adaptation and that they think it'll turn out to be good.

Because I am 95% sure it will be bloody awful.

For one thing, it has Boyarsky playing Lestrade, and that's... not a good choice at all. Boyarsky is absolutely OTT and pretty much plays only the comic relief role nowadays. He used to be able to act - sort of - but now ridiculous is the only epithet he deserves.

And then, well, it's a modern Russian film. The mainstream Russian cinematograph is ruined (individual art house producers are another matter, but there aren't many of these). The acting will be cringeworthy, and the plots will probably drive me insane once I try to watch it.

I haven't heard of this at all. But if someone subs it, I would be all for it. I love watching Sherlock Holmes adaptations.

I do not give one single shit whether a Sherlock Holmes adaptation is good, bad, mediocre, dumb, pretentious, awesome, cringeworthy, hilarious, gritty, weird, stuffy, clever, dark, deconstructive, reconstructive, faithful, or just plain crazy.

I love each and every single one of them just by virtue of being a Sherlock Holmes adaptation, thereby contributing to the glorious neverending array of different facets and interpretations and ideas and variations and quantum parallel universe choices these amazing, amazing characters and stories are capable of spawning.

So if I get subtitles, I will watch it.
