    doug maverick,

    You derailed this thread with that new phrase: Action Porn. You ain't innocent here. Just the mention of that "p" word starts hormones flying amongst the geriatric here. And you added their prime era: the 1970's.

    I finally caught this film last weekend. It's actually only the second movie I saw in a theater this year. The first was the atrocious Conan, a movie I saw out of loyalty with low expectations that were actually exceeded.

    For me, the first half of the movie had that same kind of charisma that the original had, witty, good banter, and some action...then the movie just kind of went into a doldrums...regaining some momentum towards the end. Overall enjoyable but second fiddle to Sherlock Holmes one.

    My experience was probably also influenced by this lady sitting behind me who spent 20 mins fumbling with her candy wrappers and then kept leaning forward and blowing her nose through out the film, so close that it felt like she was gonna spray the back of my neck.

    I used to be an avid movie goer for years...in the last couple of years I've only attended one or two films at the theater. The only real attraction is the IMAX 3D experience. American movies are just completely unimaginative, unoriginal, remakes and sequels. Everything is about special effects and cookie cutter success plans. The executives are afraid to be daring, bold, original. I've since become mostly a Foreign films fan and watch cable tv programs like Dexter, 6ft Under, The Shield, Game of Thrones, etc...they are the daring original programs that Hollywood should be. Great characters, dialogues and story lines.

    My wife, brother, and I went to see it last night. We all liked it, my brother never saw the first one, but found it enjoyable after the beginning.

    There was definitely more Wing Chun in this one than the first. I did wonder a little bit about the accuracy of the modern weaponry they showed for the time period, but I'm a little nerdy like that.

    HH, we had this guy who was laughing at the stupidest moments, and would not sit back in his chair; it was a little irritating.

    Sherlock Holmes Fight Choreography

    Anybody seen the two Sherlock Holmes movies with Robert Downey Jr?

    I liked the fight choreography, thought it was an interesting and fresh approach.

    Any word on Robert Downey Jr. having in real skills?

    You dont have to have skills to do movie fu. It's all done slow and then sped up in editing. Or in the case of the Sherlock Holmes movies it is slowed down. Do you think everyone in lord of the rings has skill wielding swords? No. It's acting.
