    Stephen Fry is Mycroft Holmes!

    Could be an interesting choice!

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Pretty cool. Love Fry's work, though I certainly didn't know the actor by name. This could certainly be helpful, but I don't think casting is what hurt Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes. Hopefully we can get a smarter script & tighter pacing next time out.

    I quite liked the first one... I know what you mean though... It just sort of missed something...

    Oh, I liked it, as well, but felt like they just missed the mark in a few areas. You know there's room for improvement when you walk out of the theater thinking about how the sequel could certainly be better than the original and that's just what I recall contemplating on my way to the exit.
