It was established in the first film that Downey's Holmes is much more the action figure than the text intended, but if you can forgive that, then this film, as the first, is solid and entertaining. Having heard many a negative review of this film I was pleasantly surprised and entertained by this 2nd offering of Downey Jr. The climax by comparison does not quite work whereas the final confrontation between Holmes and Moriarty(Jared Harris, an uninspired casting) works out much better, if too little, too late.
FILM REVIEW SHERLOCK HOLMES MOVIE
So, it's no surprise that the best scene in the movie is the wedding as it expresses so much about the characters' true reltionships while providing a much needed quiet moment. Basically, any recollection of a plot starts with Sherlock taking the opportunity of Watson's(Jude Law) stag party to visit Simza(Noomi Rapace), a fortune teller, before 43 separate fights start. as the eponymous sleuth, liking most of the performances and the action.īut in the interval, there has been one great('Sherlock') and one very good('Elementary') modern day updates of the great detective to the small screen which also served to remind us all that Holmes is much more about solving a puzzle than saving the world.Īnd even without that, I still don't think "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows" would merit a recommendation, as it resembles nothing more than an out of control train ride while being on a huge amount of medications, centering on a central scheme that is both grandiose and banal.(Not recommended, by the way.) Since it desperately tries to cram in as much comedy and action as much as humanly possible(including one very unfortunate scene involving Stephen Fry), I'm not sure what happens at the start of the movie. Rating: PG-13 (Intense Sequences of Violence|Intense Sequences of Action|Some Drug Material)įor the record, I do remember enjoying the first Sherlock Holmes movie starring Robert Downey Jr. Watson (Jude Law), who are accompanied by a Gypsy (Noomi Rapace) whose life Holmes saved, chase Moriarty across Europe in the hope that they can thwart his plot before it can come to fruition. However, detective Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) deduces that the prince was murdered and that the crime is but a piece of a puzzle designed by an evil genius named Moriarty (Jared Harris).
When Austria's crown prince is found dead, evidence seems to point to suicide.
