Review of Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011) by Scott G — 18 Mar 2013

Upon a second viewing, #SherlockHolmes #AGameOfShadows proves itself to be denser, more complex and superior to its predecessor. Law and Downey, Jr. are equal to the task, comfortably resuming their Butch and Sundance routine.

Richie again doesn't disappoint, never re-visting old ground and demonstrating that he's one of the few directors who knows how to use slowmo without it being cliched. Jared Harris is the perfect Moriarty, chewing the scenery in very un-Mad Men-like fashion.

Almost Blu Ray collection worthy, it IS worth catching it on Premium cable. Three and a half stars, rounded up to four.
