He's ok, but the way he portrayed Iron Man didn't leave a positive image I'm afraid. Neither do I like the way they've used a known name for a movie that seems to have very little to do with the character, it's legacy and depth. Call it something else than Sherlock Holmes and I would be interested, but not this way. Trying to make a movie worth making through advertising and safe betting in this time and age of economic distress is understandable to a degree, but blatantly abusing a known "franchise" and in the process deforming it completely is not.
