Movie Rating Watch

The type of film that succumbs to the typical and expected Seth Rogen formula, but I absolutely fell for it hook, line, and sinker. Funny, charming, and entertaining. Its raunchiness plays into its believabililty factor, which is relatable for any normal or everyday guy who feels like he's involved with the most beautiful, intelligent, and hardest working woman in the world. And, let's face it, if you're not in that kind of relationship then you're doing it wrong. Long Shot is that fantasy come to life and it makes you feel way better than it should.

I thought this movie was fine. I loved the chemistry between Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr. I loved the use of color towards the beginning with Rachel McAdam's dress - it made her stand out in the blandness of everything else.

I just thought that the film was kind of slow and I'm not sure the plot made a whole lot of sense. It feels like this movie was just a stepping stone for the second one, to set up Moriarty and Holmes' rivalry.

It was a fine film. A good way to pass time, just not one I'll probably ever watch again.

Great sets and production (0 more)

Doesn't feel like an Agatha Christie story (0 more)

Artistic if a little underwhelming

I've seen over versions of this same story. It does feel strange not having either the Marple or Poirot characters in this version.
The BBC have done a few Christie adaptations recently with mixed success. While the production value is great setting it this time in the 60's the story itself feels quite thin. The first episode particularly feeling full of shots that don't really amount to much. Hopefully the next one they do will feel more like an Agatha Christie plot.
