Dear me. I've no idea what to make of this. A badass bare-chested Holmes duking it out Jackie Chan-style in Guy Ritchie's re-imagining of the beloved character?

The Guardian says "It's Fight Club, my dear Ritchie" and that it's "not necessarily one for purists". I AM curious, though I imagine I'll be rolling my eyes a lot at all the improbable fight choreography and terminal hipness. But the final scene in the trailer (the bit with the pillow) did give me a grin.

I'll wait for the reviews of others I trust before risking it.

Who bit the pillow is something Holmes enthusiasts have argued over for decades.

It won't let me see it - I'm not in one of the "certain areas" allowed. But I admit, I am greatly looking forward to this film!

The trailer's also on YouTube, Craig.
