Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

I can’t believe how quickly time has elapsed since I reviewed the first one of these films… and to be honest I might as well “cut and paste” the same review because Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows pretty much covers the same ground as its predecessor. The cast put in a reasonable performance (although I still don’t think this is the correct way to portray Holmes), the action is fast paced and there is more of the Holmes predictive fight scenes where he works out in advance what is going to happen and how his opponent will respond. The film of course concludes with the prospect of a second sequel… nothing new there then.


So there you have it… worth a look and reasonably entertaining (but you will have forgotten the plot within minutes of leaving the cinema).

Rating: 7/10
