Review of Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011) by Goodfella — 21 Jul 2012

I'm no big fan of sherlock holmes and definitely not of guy ritchie (snatch apart) but this was a really entertaining movie. Perhaps the relatively low scores are in part due to the BBC's 'Sherlock' which is very british and this is just very american.

As a brit, if I loved sherlock holmes I would probably hate this, but just judging the movie purely on its entertainment value, I have to say its a 'good un'. From the beginning, the film is well shot, well acted, with decent action set pieces and a fairly good story.

Its well worth a watch whether you like 'holmes' or not.
