Jude Law would be a better Sherlock.

I don't know if Guy Ritchie has read the books. But Robert Downey Jr is nothing like Sherlock Holmes. I like RDJ. I think he's a great actor. But having an American play one of the most iconic British characters is a disgrace. Not to mention the fact that Jude Law could have easily played a terrific Holmes. He's sharp, good looking, clever, and has that 'hawk-like' appearance that matches Sherlock Holmes. I have no idea why he was cast as Watson? He did a good job as Watson mind you. Despite the fact that he complains a fair bit. These movies are disloyal to the books.
