Guy Rithcie does it again!

Rating: 8/10 (30 December 2011)

Very few sequels actually top their own predecessors, like the Two Towers. But this one surely is one of them. Having tackled Sherlock Holmes' most dangerous nemesis in the second movie itself, it was handled with the the kind of intensity that it deserved.
The story-line was fluid and not overly complicated, the jokes hit the right spot (the Robert Downy Jr. and Jude Law chemistry is perfect as it is). The effects were pretty good and the dialogues were perfect for the scenes. Stephen Fry's portrayal of Mycroft was better than perfect - it exceeded even the Mycroft from Arthur Conan Doyle's books!
The only disappointment was the handling of Irene Adler... she could have been given more of a role. But that doesn't dent the movie at all, and the conclusion is pretty perfect.
