Gah... About a minute into the trailer, my mind abandoned all pretense that I was watching a trailer for a Sherlock Holmes and instead embraced the concept that this was an action-adventure-superhero film with modern-day effects (the now-overused slow-fast motion not the least featured of them) with more influences from James Bond than from Sherlock Holmes (from which only the names are taken). After that switch, I started enjoying it.
"Iron Man in A Cravat" seems like an excellent description of it.

Heh. I figure as long as it isn't as bad as the 'League of Extraordinary Gentlemen' movie, we're golden.
Of course, the older I get, the lower my standards go...
