Review of Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011) by Lambo442 — 22 Dec 2011
A superb film, even better than the first. I found it hilariously funny, very gripping and despite what some might say about Holmes being too much of an action man - it is faithful to the original character.
He was never supposed to be a sleuth, sitting at home solving mysteries. He only lounged at home in between cases - never by choice. Holmes always was a man of action. In Conan-doyles books he took part in high speed chases, firefights and all sorts.
Ok so he never pumelled the hell out of anyone with his bare hands - but I always felt that he should - seeing as he was an accomplished boxer. Anyway - the user reviews are much more in line with how the film actually plays.
Most of the critics who say the film isn't faithful to the original text have never even read holmes.
