Ever since it was announced that Guy Ritchie (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, RockNRolla) was going to take a stab at bringing Sherlock Holmes back to the big screen with Robert Downey Jr. in the title role and Jude Law as loyal sidekick Dr. Watson, interest has been extremely high.

Well, now we can finally see what's in store for us, as Warner Bros. debuts the first trailer for the movie (set for release this December). What do you think? It is badass? Silly? A crime against literature? A fun romp? From these early glimpses, it could very well be all of the above…



Sherlock Holmes opens this Christmas.
