I have been a fan of Holmes since I was a kid and when I heard about this "updating", I was convinced that the BBC would make a hash of it. As a fan of the Jeremy Brett series, I did not consider that taking Holmes out of his Victorian environment would be a good idea. How wrong I was!
I found the first episode of this series to be enormously entertaining, not least Benedict Cumberbatch's performance as Holmes. In removing Holmes from his Victorian roots Cumberbatch has, ironically, delivered the closest portrayal yet to Conan Doyle's original character. An eccentric genius just on the right side of being a complete weirdo. Cumberbatch also brought out Holmes' physicality, charisma and masterfulness. It was great to watch. I hope the next episodes are as entertaining as this.

This was a thoroughly gripping and entertaining movie, by far my favourite of all the bat flicks to date. In pure enjoyment terms, it easily matched the classic (and very underrated) '60s Adam West campathon. The action scenes were wonderfully cut, conveying the speed and agility of Batman as he beats up bad guys. Let us not forget superb supporting turns from Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman and, especially, the great Michael Caine as Alfred, but the star of the film is Christian Bale who gives a most compelling performance as Batman/Bruce Wayne, creating a new cinematic vision of the now familiar character by pushing him to the edge of sanity. Cillian Murphy is undeniably creepy as arch-villain and psychopath the Scarecrow, a wonderfully different type of villain for a Bat movie, but one that seems to fit with the tone of this one. A great movie for people of all ages.
Flynn, though pickled and clearly the worse for wear, gives a fine performance here. In fact, his haggard features compliment his role as a defeated war veteran. You`ll see little of the humour and athletic prowess of Flynn`s early movies, but it`s a grand experience none the less. The supporting cast are fine, especially Livesy. But the leading lady is not up to Flynn`s standard. Olivia should have made a comeback for this one. That said, Flynn does engage in some obviously stunt-doubled sword play. However, he is neither as humorous, mischevious or as boyish as he was before. 8/10
