Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Sherlock Holmes and his sidekick Dr. Watson join forces to outwit and bring down their fiercest adversary, Professor Moriarty. Just like with the original 'Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows' just doesn't bring anything new to the table rather than a same old samd old type of buddy comedy with Junior and Jude Law as Holmes and Watson, lots of explosions, one liners and crazy comedy plus Holmes fights like a Telltale character in slow motion and just looks terribly ridiculous. Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes 2 is just as disappointing as that first film was and a total waste of time, money and talent and like i said Junior should stick to being Iron Man and not much of anything else. (5/10)

The first part was a brilliance and seeing to the end of it there were a lot of expectations from this movie. But unfortunately this seemed more like an extension of the 1st part with little add-ons for amusing the viewer. The fighting skill of Sherlock, his brilliance at finding evidence among others. The movie did well but seems to have failed the expanded expectations of the viewers. There were nevertheless, few moments like entry of Sherlock disguised as women inside the train, the throwing off the bridge of Mary. Also a change in the story was last encounter with Professor Moriarty he seemed to be more skilled at the art of boxing art than Sherlock. Over the comical part, Mycroft Holmes played an unusual character difficult to understand.

Well not really as I was not as impressed as many seem to have been by the first one. What a shame that a movie with such good productions values and sets, although most of them are only seen for seconds, is so over burdened with pointless dramatics. Notions like putting a platoon of redcoats on a train with a machine gun to kill a man and his wife are too ludicrous for words. A pistol or a small bomb would have done a better job. Of course Holmes dispatches the whole platoon with ease, even somehow making a time bomb from a brass a tap and a toilet chain pull. This was done so quickly that the point of making a bomb was lost. Holmes mentally planning his fights was also silly, you cannot plan a fight like that as you do not know what your opponent's counter moves will. It broke the continuity of the encounters and wasted time. How as Watson an able to get the explosives in place to bring down the tower on Moriarty? There were also many anacronisms such as was directly injecting adrenaline into the heart known in the Victorian age? The whole thing was reminiscent of the super hero genre. Personally I think the Cumberbatch/Freeman series and the Holmes in New York series much more connected to the original characters

One of the easiest ways to sum up Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows would be to say, 'If you liked the first one then you'll love this one too.' It's basically more of the same, but if what was done the first time was a winning formula, then who really care? (it worked for Terminator 1-3!).You have more witticisms from Robert Downey Jr as Holmes, more of long-suffering Jude law as Watson and more trendy and stylish slow-mo directing, courtesy of Guy Ritchie. This time round they team up to lock horns with arguably Holmes' most famous villain - Moriarty.You could call it all a re-tread of the first film, but in different locations, but that would probably be overly cynical. It's a new story in itself and, while certain purists complain that it's not completely faithful to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's original books, it's got its own charms. It may not be a hundred per cent accurate or believable, but it's basically Hollywood's take on what Sherlock Holmes was and - in my opinion - it's a pretty exciting take. Bring on Holmes III!
