Ahhh, I see what you mean. And yeah, it had a certain amount of kitsch to it, but so did the original stories and many of his cinematic incarnations since - I thought it was a great nod to a variety of Holmes interpretations over the last century. Downey Jr's accent may have been off, but the fact that both him and the actual character were both coke fiends was a terrific casting call, whatever the level of intention behind it.
I wonder who will play a competent Moriarty should they continue...
