He was finally shown to be Holmes' right hand, a reluctant admirer of Holmes' method and spirit while keeping a cool, down-to-earth attitude that played somewhat as Holmes' last grasp at the real world. Watson kept him stable and focused while not falling into the background as a character. Plus the chemistry between the two actors made for an amazing on-screen performance.
Holmes and Watson have the ultimate friendship. It's so rare to come by, when even though you may not be in love with a person, you need them in your life to stay sane. That's exactly how Holmes feels, he can't live without Watson. And even though Watson never wants to admit it, he feels the same about Holmes...
Actually, from what I understand these movies are the closest to the books, not glossing over any of the nitty gritty details and giving Holmes that manic determination (as well as misogynistic) attitude that characterized him in the book. Some people complain that it's too 'action-y' but I think Holmes always was the one out there, digging for the truth and risking his life. I especially like the way Watson wasn't cast as a dunce or a 'side-kick' really coming into his own.
Holmes without Watson, is like the night without the daylight fellowing after it. Watson friendship and common sense, are the only two things, that kept Holmes stable and sane.
I'm tempted to watch this film version, being a fan of the original books, and especially the granada television adaption starring the late great Jeremy Brett, as well as the BBC's recent modern take on the vistorian detective, but am a little concerned that this film version might be just a small step too far away from the Sherlock Holmes I know and love. Are there any other Sherlockians out there who share my same views of the original books and television adaptions who have seen this film?
