Sherlock Holmes 2 is brilliant!

Rating: 9/10 (23 February 2012)

Sherlock Holmes is back with a bang! Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows continues with the adventures of Sherlock Holmes(Robert Downey Jr.) along with his sidekick Dr.John Watson(Jude Law). Following the events of the first movie, Holmes & Watson are hot on the trail of Professor Moriarty(Jared Harris). This movie has some of the best action & chase sequences in the history of action movies. The moviegoer is literally on the edge his/her seat in anticipation of what's going to happen next. Thank god, this movie wasn't in 3D. It was mind blowing on it's own & 3D would have ruined this movie. I must say, that it's much better than the first movie. Robert Downey Jr. is outstanding as detective Sherlock Holmes. No one else could have pulled off the role of Holmes, in the brilliant manner that he did. Jude Law is excellent as Watson, Holmes' trusted friend & sidekick. Downey Jr. & Law share great chemistry. Together, they create magic on screen! Noomi Rapace is effective as Madame Simza Heron. Professor Moriarty is a brilliant villain. Jared Harris has done an impressive job. I really wish that Rachel McAdams had more screen time. I really miss Irene Adler in this movie. Stephen Fry is hilarious as Mycroft Holmes. The ending, will simply take your breath away! So, I would like to conclude by saying, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is worth a watch. I can't wait for the DVD!
