Review of Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011) by Richard Corliss for Time — 15 Dec 2011
Fresh inspiration is sparse here; the sequel is less an extension than a remake. Holmes says of one of his lamer disguises, "It's so overt, it's covert." And the shadow in this game is the imposing penumbra of Ritchie's very satisfying 2009 film.
It's overt and overwhelming.
