No better than the first – which means it will probably be creamed by critics and make a jillion dollars. But really, standards are standards…

Fun, but retread the beats of the first movie and not as good. Cage is the only really draw in this movie for sure…

Perversely restrained given the subject matter, and huge props to Jodie Foster for her standout performance but ultimately a fairly uninspiring film…

Pretty poor excuse for a film, The lovely Emily Blunt tries her best to save it, but unfortunately she fails…

Sherlock Holmes fighting Nazis! Sound great! It's not…
