Finally got around to watching the 2009 Sherlock Holmes film starring Robert Downey Jnr and Jude Law. Is it my cloth ears, or is the dialogue really unclear in parts? I struggled to understand parts of it, particularly when Robert Downey was speaking.

I'm going to guess that that didn't help in the slightest, did it.

You're right, it didn't.

I find increasingly more comfortable to watch movies with the subtitles on. Mumbling being the New Method.

I think I may have to do the same. It was a nightmare!

I run the subtitle feature on my blu-ray on nearly everything I watch. But, Robert Downey's diction isn't always the best, especially when he's doing accents or dialects either.

He was awful. I could follow Jude Law (just about) but Downey was hopeless.
