Colin is a good actor but I can’t see him as Dr. Watson, when I first heard that Ritchie was doing this I immediately thought that Paul Giamatti would be a great Watson, or maybe Phillip Seymour Hoffman but that’s just my opinion. On the other hand of Ferrell gains 40 or 50 pounds and grows a Jamie Hyneman-esque mustache than I would be all for it.

Pass on that movie if it came out. He has ruin so many movies by not being cast properly that to me he is a bad omen. Alexander ran the other night and I still can not watch that movie with him in it.

I’d buy Farrell being Watson over Crowe. He might not be as solid an actor as RDJ is right now, but he was good in In Bruges and I hope he keeps the Irish accent which would make Watson even more interesting. However Professor Moriarty is an old withered man something Crowe clearly can’t play, so I think they should rethink the bad guy.

Pride and Glory looks great, In Bruges was awesome and The New World is one of the best films there is… Give Colin the part!

I always imagined Watson as being an older, mentor figure to Sherlock Holmes. The idea of Drunky McIrish mentoring anyone is laughable.

I loved Farrell on Scrubs though.

For the record, I’ve always been a Colin Ferrell fan, but his performance in In Bruges actually surprised me and I can see how that kind of light hearted focus he displayed in the film would work for Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes.

I’ve only seen parts of In bruge agree, however there’s more good.. A home at the end of the world and Cassandra’s dream are 2 good movies.

Wow! One OKAY performance in In Bruges and you guys are on the Colin Farrell bandwagon. I actually want this guy to be good, but he just sucks in everything. I don’t want that Irish bugger near this film.

After seeing him ride that chick in Alexander and to see his private parts, I want to see him in anything…As long as he’s nude.
