Adler

My only disappointment with the movie Sherlock Holmes is its Irene Adler.

(Other supporting characters, however, are entirely satisfactory. Mary Morstan is the same governess whom we know from Conan Doyle, while Inspector Lestrade is nothing but just slightly more adorable than the stern man we found in A Study in Scarlet.)

Alas, I have no problem to have Adler's relation with our great detective much enriched in the film. Nonetheless, like Holmes himself, I have a high opinion on the woman. She could be a secret agent, or mixed in a group of European nobles, but she would never abuse her charm and try to seduce a man.

And, as it appears, Rachel McAdams behaves like Countess Rossakoff of Hercule Poirot, rather than the woman whose photo preciously kept in 221B Baker Street.

Guy Ritchie could have done better.

PS. If there is a second part of the movie, I'm sure we will see Mycroft Holmes - and possibly Colonel Moran ?
