'the rare coming-of-age story where the protagonist really does come of age'
i think that sums up the movie quit well.

i strongly urge you to google the word 'self-awareness'

I disliked the movies, especially the second one.
Way too much action and too little thinking. Sherlock as a wrestler? Introducing Irene in the first movie and unceremoniously killing her off in the second? Watson's bride getting thrown from a train? A slow-motion chase-scene that looked like something a kid would put…

That is nonsense.
I am neither English nor American and both can at times be nationalistic.

The bridesmaid did get her revenge by running to the tabloids and selling her story, so i didn't feel sorry for her.

you call it 'the little man standing up for himself and humiliating the middle-class kids that blindly follow rules'
i call it 'wish-fulfillment for middle-class kids who dream of some seemingly-powerless outsider suddenly rising up and setting their horrible 'friends' into their place and becoming friends with that…

fat men don't accept themselves: they ignore their body and focus on their other talents, but they still judge a woman for the way she looks (and tv says that is totally the way it should be).

that double standard is what bothers me most: for a guy it's okay to be fat as long as he is funny, maybe a few good-humored jokes are sent his way but nobody will think it's strange if he lands a hot girl half his weight. but a woman will never really stop being 'the fat chick' and can only date fat guys.

when white people talk about how white people are evil and we need to start talking to black people most of them do that from the implicit assumption that those black people will basically share all their values and be their friend.

or maybe it's just that nowadays fatness is 'the last acceptable form of discrimination' while in the past fat people were shunned and ignored and everyone thought that was okay and their own fault for looking gross.

'it is all moffat's fault'

if moriarty was able to fake his death without even mycroft knowing about it than that certainly makes him sherlock's equal (perhaps even smarter than sherlock: a gun to the face seems more difficult to fake than a fall from a building).
and that is what this show was lacking this season: a real enemy.

agree on disliking how even the big reveal about mary didn't give john much screen-time. we run from 'your wife lied to you all this time' to 'i forgive you for your lies and for using me' almost immediately. sure, deep-down john might have sensed there was more to mary than meets the eye, and this might have…

Maybe I'm wrong and in the UK its different, but anyone who is married (or plans to be) knows that a wedding is 100% all about the bride.

i don't mind about the mystery being only part of the show and the rest of the story being about character-development.
the problem is that such a shift is typically a sign of writers running out of clever ideas and just not bothering to write a good mystery anymore (and thus the only thing left in the story are the…

nah, being a creep is being a creep. and being so unashamed of it that you already assume in advance that your audience will forgive you doesn't help either.
if he hated being blackmailed he shouldn't have been a creep.

i do think journalists are allowed one big screw-up in their career (but not more than one).
if the audience cannot forgive and forget than all you get is a combination of risk-less reporting ('this is just my opinion and everybody is free to disagree') and a revolving door of reporters as people get dished all the…

please tell me the kid dies a horrible raptor-eaten dead? please?
