Benedict Cumberbatch played Sherlock on the TV series and was awesome. He has that enigmatic barefaced stare that is just evil all the way. He'll be an excellent villain.
I enjoyed the first movie, looking forward to the next. I think you have to suspend your reality checks sometimes to enjoy the story sometimes. It is all fantasy and if you take it too seriously then it loses the magic.
Haven't seen The Hobbit yet with it's 3D and 48 fps so can't comment on it but virtually every fictional film these days has some level of CGI in it. Most would be impossible to do without it but I'd have to say there has been some amazing advances in the latest offerings. I'm a Hobbit and LOTR reader from many years ago so first rainy day over the Xmas hols and I'll be lining up to see how Sir PJ has done.
