When I first saw the photos from the first X-Men movie, I cringed. Then I thought about it: the costumes, while different, were better for screen than the yellow and blue spandex costumes.

And when I finally saw the movie, I was pleasantly surprised.

Since then, no matter how bad a movie adaptation of something may seem or look to me, I give it a chance.

It was tough when I first heard about the cast and crew of the new Holmes movie. (I was more open to the Sacha Baron Cohen/Will Ferrell Holmes movie because it at least acknowledged it wasn’t going to butcher the classic because it wasn’t trying to be serious.) But I remembered how much I enjoyed the X-Men movies, especially the second one.

I’m glad I had an open mind about the new Holmes movie.

Like you, I can’t wait to reread and finish reading all the stories and novels.

I usually try my best to keep an open mind and just see a movie for fun instead of picking it apart for the differences from the original. I definitely enjoyed the movie, and I’m looking forward to re-reading the stories again soon!

I really do hope it inspires more people to seek out the books and read them!
