Review of Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011) by Riff J — 11 Apr 2016

Not as good as part 1 but that should in way disuade the viewer from giving this gem a try. Thanks in large part to the wonderful performances delivered by the big stars (kudos to Rachel McAdams for brilliantly holding her own when showcased with the Downey Jr/Law combo). The 3 of them really bring their tale of adventure/mystery to life.

The major knock on part 2 is that it doesn't have the suspense/tension created in part 1. But then again, it's not always fair to view/grade movies relative to their predecessors simply due to the fact that the bar was set so high in part 1.
