1) I know what the word means.
2) It has only been 118 years.
3) Way to ruin an amazing quote.  :'(

Win-win.

He was into drugs. He was a cocaine consumer but

By following the series, the readers would know that he was also a cocaine and morphine user but back in those days, these drugs were not yet illegal. Cocaine was just newly introduced back then and it was used in ports and Sherries, wines and such because it was thought to be perfectly harmful

sorry I just copy-pasted this from my research paper  ;D

Yeah, it's his alternative for case "euphoria" (Like this person wants people dying everyday ;D lol). I really thought at first that it was stimulation for not sleeping overnight.

From one of the early movies, and although a misquote, its a funny line referring to Holmes addiction with cocaine:

"Quick, Watson, the needle!"

What baffles me more is that the quote "Elementary, my dear Watson" only appears in the movies but is probably one of the most well known.

Me, to be honest it wasn´t as bad as I thought it would be, for me it was good to watch.
In my opinion the woman that acted as Irene Adler was the best.
I´ll stop commenting if a spoiler suddenly comes up and I don´t realise it.

Certainly worth watching, I loved the fight scenes. And yeah, the one who played Irene. ;D No spoilers, it's worthless if you know how it ends XD
No amount of apologies will express how much I regret it.

Thanks. I'm definitely gonna watch it. I'm gathering opinions 'coz I don't wanna watch any loser movies anymore. But I guess the movie isn't bad. And it received good ratings in Rotten Tomatoes.

me to I wach it  :)

The begining was a little bit of a dissapiontment I didnt like the begining with all the magic, sometimes I like magic movies but that was gust to much for my taste and most sherlock storys that have magic in it he always proves it flase (which is cool I think).

As the story progressed It got much beter and you could tell homes was solveing the case.
and at the ending of the movie I loved it  ;D
In my opinion the woman that acted as Irene Adler was the best.
I agree  ;D she was cool  8)
I loved the fight scenes.
me to  ;D boom
Certainly worth watching
I agree, you whont be let down
