Not as good as the first one!

Rating: 7/10 (2 January 2012)

I believe the first Sherlock Holmes was much closer to the books formula of mystery solved by Holmes logic. The second installment is more like an action film. There is more action in this movie, but the movie still goes back the original formula when Holmes locks his wits/logic against the evil professor. The movie is a good mix of humor and action while the storyline keeps the viewer interested. Guy Richie directs the slow motion action excellently, which Richie is famously known for. The movie is worth seeing in the theater. It was a good New Years eve date. I give Sherlock Holmes A game of Shadows a seven out of ten.
