Don't care much for Farrell, he's not funny.

Making a comedy of Sherlock Holmes is a crime.................

John C Reilly has to be just about the ugliest person well except for Ron Perlman.

“Without a Clue”, starring Michael Caine and Ben Kingsley, was a very funny Sherlock Holmes comedy.

Farrell’s movies fall into two categories very funny or very bad. Lately he has had so many bad movies in a row the funny category is a distant memory.

I am not a fan of Will Farrell. I have seen a few things that were funny from him, but I find him to be completely unoriginal.

I’ve never, EVER been a Farrell fan. I liked Daddy’s home, but I think it would have been better without him. Maybe they could have replaced him with Adam Sandler. I’m not really a fan of his, either, but still...

“Making a comedy of Sherlock Holmes is a crime”

That was my first thought, or basically I want to see a serious detective show. Also I think most of today’s comics come across as showing themselves off. Also, off-color material is mixed in.

The re-release theatrical trailer of ‘The Hound of the Baskervilles’ (1978) starring Peter Cook as Sherlock Holmes and Dudley Moore as Dr. Watson.

The trailer I’ve seen is just awful. Think the worst SNL skit ever

24/100 from Metacritic. 2.2/10 from Metacritic users. Awful scores.

Sample: "I think the Congress should make a law requiring [theaters] to return the money to anyone who walks from the viewing earlier."

Agreed. He’s never made me laugh. Not once.

Making a Will Farrell comedy is a crime in itself.

But the Robert Downey Jr. Holmes movies had a lot of humor.

Other film versions have also had some fun with Holmes.

Believe it or not, I have Sherlock Holmes The Scarlet Claw, Pearl of Death, House of Fear, The Hound Of The Baskervilles, and Dressed To Kill currently lined up in my YouTube queue. Given that the weather is going to be wet, windy, and abhorrent the next few days and I bunged up my back to boot, I have quite the lineup to watch when the missus goes to bed the next couple of nights.

Same assclown (farrel) that was knocking on doors in Georgia looking for dem votes. He’s been off the list for quite a while now.

They needed more gay characters?

And isnt there a Mary Sue in it that critics can rally around too?

It’s hard for me to understand why they make incredibly stupid farce movies of successful endeavors like Dukes of Hazzard, Starsky and Hutch, etc. Even if it made money - why? Just to be stupid? It must be there’s just a lot of cocaine flying around Hollywood.

Never cared for him either. I don't understand why people find him entertaining. I think the last movie I watched of his was the original Anchorman movie in 2004.

It looked really stupid. But not funny.
