Brilliant, a wonderful sequel

Rating: 8/10 (28 July 2012)

The 2nd in the Sherlock series starring the dynamic duo of Law & Downey Jr. does not disappoint. What was disappointing was that I took Tomato Meter's advice and chose to pay and see MI4 at the theater over Sherlock. MI4 couldn't hold a candle to this one. The plot is brilliant; the script is brilliant; the action scenes, better than the first installment; and the overall work engaging and enjoyable up to literally the last second of the film. Compare that to MI4; which stunk, let's face it. Terrible script and screenplay, lousy acting, cheesy delivery of lines, so contrived to say the least.
But I digress. I think Guy Richie has done a fantastic job with these films and I'm looking so forward to the next. The only thing that detracts from the overall euphoria of just having watched this is the reality dawning that it'll be at least two years before that next one arrives in theaters. Until then, Sherlock lives on!
