Dr. Watson

4. Characterize Dr. Watson in the movie
He is Holmes' doctor, assistant and friend.
He's taking care of Holmes, and he knows, what Holmes's thinking. He's like a part of Holmes' brain. 
He's Holmes' helper as a friend, but at the same time he's like the mother of Holmes.

He's engaged to Mary.
He's serious, mature and thoughtful.
He cares about how he looks (hygienic, well-dressed) 
He's considerate, polite and more sensitive than Holmes.
He's not a loner but still he's not very social.
He's wise and a little boring.
He seems to be reliable and faithful.

His role is bigger in the movie than in the book. He has "no personality" in the book. He's just doing the paper-work in the book, following Holmes like a dog.
