Its not very different, just with a couple new snippets woven into the beginning and a spiffy new ending that is almost enough to restore my faith in the film.
Emphasis on the almost.
Here, have a link: Click me! Please, do!
I think that the action-y and Adler-y stuff looks absolutely ridiculous and terrible, and unshaven Holmes? Seriously? What happened there? But, the Holmes/Watson relationship, I think, has been done extremely well.
We shall see if that's enough to salvage the film for me.

OT: Bonjour!
Hey, sorry for the two or so week hiatus, was off doing the American in Paris routine.
Things (that are related to this blog) that I learned in France include: people like House very much in France and Holmes is very hard to read in French.
Also, on Continental Airlines, when you are flying into the US, they play a little infomercial about how to fill out a customs form.
In said infomercial was a picture of a sample form, filled out with random, sample information. I don't remember the name on the form, but the address was "221B Baker Street!" (the city was Brooklyn, which totally killed the Holmes vibe, but what can ya do)
Also, quick OT question: is it "airplane" or "aeroplane"?
Because "Aeroplane" is way cooler looking.
Right, back to rewatching every House episode ever and trying to think of ways in which they are clearly the same as detective fiction circa eighteen eighty.
I do have a life! I swear! I do! Its probably just, um, hiding under my bed or in a cupboard or something...
