Liked the first film, loved this one!

Rating: 9/10 (21 December 2011)

..saw this one at a late show last night...
Have to say, as much as I enjoyed the first film (and I did very much enjoy Ritchie's take on Holmes!) this one just takes everything that was good and fun about the original and amps it up to 11.
The chemistry between Law and Downey is just crackling. It is so much fun to watch these 2 natter at each other. The mutual love and respect is spoken thru actions, deeds and performance. Very well executed by both actors.
The action sequences, a bit heavy-handed in the first film, are perfected in this one. Each and every one is an edge-of-your-seat affair, tremendously shot and executed.
Stylish, yes, but the style doesn't make them as clunky as they were in the first film.
Really hope there is a third entry in the series. The trio of Ritchie, Downey and Law are obviously having a lot of fun!
