Hey, Pyramid of Fear could have been worse. They could have done as they did
with Sherlock Holmes 2009 with Robert Downey Jr. and turn both Holmes and
Watson into fighting machines.

Not that Sherlock Holmes 2009 was bad. It was entertaining. However, OMG the
parts in which Holmes pre-plans fights in his head and then plays them like a
scripted computer program. Good fun but not very Doylesque :-)
