Now Sherlock Holmes gets a reboot. I'm doubtful this will be praised as much as J.J. Abrams "Star Trek" reboot was though. While Abrams showed great respect to the Star Trek franchise and rebooted it with the old shows spirit, Guy Richies "Sherlock Holmes" seems to be screaming "this is old, boring, and I can make it better." Can he do it? We'll see, but I'm skeptical. Robert Downey, Jr. looks good in the lead role but I feel Jude Law may be miscast as Dr. Watson.
