Way better than number one!

Rating: 7/10 (12 January 2012)

I wasn't all to fussy about the first (If you can really call it that) "Sherlock Holmes" movie, and wasn't planning on seeing this one at all, until I heard everyone boasting about how much better it is than that first outing. But it's really true, it is a hell off a lot better.
I Couldn't really find anything appealing about the last flick, but I found this one funnier, which instantly wins me over. I'm still not sure we need another "Sherlock Holmes" movie, but at least this one had me laughing, had some "out there" action, as well as an interesting villain in Jared Harris. Also, Robert Downey Jnr and Jude Law seem more appealing this time, with their chemistry really working too make the film what it is.
Yes "Sherlock Holmes" is still up there as one off those franchises I've already had more than enough off. But in its own right "A Game of Shadows" is a harmless, whacky and relatively entertaining movie. Nothing else to say really.
