a a big sherlock holmes fan and i be look forward to silk stocking and but be very disappointed with rupert everett performance . he give the distinct impression of be bore all the way through . also and i be surprise by the scene of him shoot up during the case . my understanding of the real holmes be that he be bore in between case and and that when he enjoy his 7 % solution . when in the midst of a case and he be excite and engage and focus none of which everett show in his performance . my favorite holmes remain jeremy brett and who show actual modulation in holmes personality ( irritation and boredom before the case present itself while excitement and sometimes to a bizarre extent and during a case while rapture at listen to a classical concert etc . ) rather than the sleepy and johnny one note performance of everett . four snore .
