This Holmes really lusts for blood when he grasps that poor unfortunate official's throat. And this Holmes really means to save mankind, all mankind, with his impassioned...
...really can't blame Christopher Plummer for this modified Holmes. Playing himself makes a great deal of sense. He knows he is handsome and talented. He knows he has that charming scar on his lower lip, that little half-smile, that direct and demanding gaze. It's easy for him to be Christopher Plummer, and besides, he gets paid...
