The Many Faces of Sherlock Holmes

Both my husband and I LOVED Robert Downey Jr.'s version of Holmes - we'd rented it and normally just watch rented films once but we enjoyed this one so much, we watched it twice before returning it! See 2 other replies

There were many interesting places this film could have taken me but, instead, it took me back to a boring history class -- a class with a teacher that wasn't so much interested in the richness of history as he was testing us on names and dates.

I realize now that the fault does lie with me because the title DOES say it plainly, "The Many Faces of Sherlock Holmes." I was hoping to learn more about the character Doyle created but this film simply lists all the actors that played Holmes.

For me, this was a snooze-fest that gave very few facts about actors I never heard of and don't remember already.

I enjoy him, but Basil and Nigel, were the campiest in my opinion. Nigel Bruce the best Watson hands down. See 9 other replies

I'm sure he had no trouble with the drug addiction portrayal, in fact he was most probably high when he shot the movie. See 9 other replies

Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law actually did fantastic jobs. He is the first one to actually portray Holmes as a drug addict with a slight superiority complex. That just seems more accurate to me after reading the stories by Arthur Conan Doyle. See 9 other replies

Tags are keywords or category labels that can help you and others find videos on Hulu. They also classify videos for later recall. You can tag videos yourself by simply checking the box next to a popular tag for a video or by using the "add" field to create a new tag. Click on any tag — "comedy" for example — to discover other videos similarly tagged by you or other users. Because tags are reviewed by Hulu, there may be a delay in surfacing your tags. The most relevant tags are sorted by category for the rest of Hulu to see. You may assign up to 30 tags for any video or show; to review all of your tags, see the Tags section on your profile page.

Your tags may be visible to other users on Hulu. You should not use:

Profane or obscene language
Tags that are inciting or spiteful
Tags that might harass, abuse or threaten members of the community
Tags that may reveal your personal information or any personal information about children under age 13
Tags that promote illegal or immoral conduct
Tags containing special characters or more than 50 characters
