Sherlock Holmes II

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

I'm not going to rate this movie.  I admit I thought the first Sherlock was okay.  Didn't like it nearly as well as many others did.  I am not sure why I rushed out to see it opening night. I wanted to see Mission Impossible.  For some reason the only theater near here showing MI is the IMAX.  I'll catch it some other time.

While I don't think this Sherlock Holmes is as good as the first movie I will say I think if you really liked the first one you will like this one also.  Most of the same cast is back from Sherlock I.  The action is much the same also.  It is filmed in either super high speed shaky cam or super slow motion.

What the story is about I'm not really sure.  Something about the evil Professor Moriarty trying to start a war between Germany and France so he can make alot of money selling weapons to both.

Of course Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law are back as what seems like a bickering old married couple rather than partners.  As I said if you liked the first one you should plunk down the money for this one too.  To me it was too slow and had me checking my watch to see when it would be over.
