Holmes and Watson Are Back!

Rating: 7/10 (31 December 2011)

Will admit that the second movie isn't as good as the first. But Robert Downey Jr as Holmes and Jude Law as Watson make up for it.
As their new nemesis and main antagonist rival, James Morarity played by Jared Harris of "Mad Men." Makes a perfect foil to them. Dangerous and smart at the same time.
Naaomi Rapace of the Swedish version of the "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" movies makes her English-language debut. As a gypsy who accompanies the men in getting rid of Morarity. She does really good with her English.
Rachel McAdams is only briefly in a cameo as Holmes love interest. Can't tell you what happens to her. You have to watch to see since I don't want to give away anything.
Holmes while trying to get Morarity, Watson is trying to start a new life as he gets married and yet is pulled by Holmes when Morarity makes a threat on Watson and his new wife's life. That you have to feel bad for Watson.
But no Holmes means no Watson. The duo are funny as Watson makes the perfect straight man to Holmes antics. It isn't as the best like the first film. But Downey and Law are at their best.
