Your garden is a full on nature reserve.

Yikes...
You might as well live in Australia with all the wildlife issues you have!

No thanks, they have too many critters that are deadly!

The raccoons will be jealous you have a new enemy.

This is the reason why Streaming shows and VoD movies are getting popular.

Yep. I reached my max on physical stuff years ago. It’s hard to imagine when you’re younger but if you collect at the same rate it can’t last forever before you run out of space.

Thought this was pretty cool:

Why am I learning of THIS now?!!!

I will never understand how this movie turned out so well, but boy do I love it.

RDJ and Law are (weirdly) great together.

Adored the first film and really hoped it would be RDJ's other franchise. That original is a great pop culture version of a legendary fictional character and the entire cast was pitch perfect. It's fun, entertaining, breezy and action packed. And yes... No small part of my enjoyment came from RDJ, who is a real life practicioner of Wing Chun Gong-Fu, making pains to stress Holmes as a master of fighting arts whose analytical ability could also be channeled into devistatingly effective combat.

But the sequel is... It's missing the spark and entertainment value of the first one.

I think Jared Harris as Moriarty is a better villain than Mark Strong in the first one though.

I'd agree there. Not a knock on Strong as an actor obviously.

I will say... Strong would have been a great Moriarity too.

Yea Strong is a great bad guy actor, I just thought Harris got a better part.

Yeah. Just playing that part gives an actor a certain standing in the viewer's mind's eye in a way, and Harris is no slouch. Kinda feel he also doesn't project "physical" villainy the way Strong does, and that does suit Moriarity.

I love the mental duel at the end.

I'm kinda waiting on a Batman movie that presents a situation like that.

RDJ's Holmes films actually contain a lot of elements I wish we got more of with Batman on screen. I'm not saying the writing has to be the same or that it needs to be the exact template, what they were going for in those films is a bit different in it's particulars than what a Bats movie is... But not by much.

Like... I wouldn't want a relationship between a hypothetical big screen Dick Grayson and Bruce to mirror the way Law and Downey presented their versions of Holmes and Watson. But the seeing Holmes' analysis thing, the way they integrated his intellect with how he fights, the swashbuckling action, and the way that their version of London was stylized to a degree but still had the feel of a real place where people of the time actually lived? I need all that in big screen Batman and that's just the tip.
