Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is the second installment in the Sherlock Holmes franchise and it does not disappoint. While it lacks the charm of the first film, it makes up for that with the thrills, wit, and some clever action. It also makes use for the slo-mo scenes that made the first one really enjoyable. Also this film has a better and popular villain that all fans of Sherlock Holmes know of: Professor James Moriarty.<br/><br/>Guy Ritchie's film joins Sherlock and Watson together on another adventure and this time they aim to stop the evil Professor Moriarty from destroying the world.<br/><br/>This movie works because of the wit and interplay of Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law. Just like Iron Man, I can't see anyone else playing a better Sherlock than Downey. I love his sardonic attitude and it's a nice feature to give to Sherlock. Jude makes a good Watson and I really can't see anyone doing better. Jared Harris makes a good Moriarty. I didn't know what to expect out of him.<br/><br/>Overall, this is a really fun film. While it doesn't improve on the first film, it's still a welcome addition to the Sherlock Holmes franchise. This movie is action-packed and it features some cool stunts. it doesn't hurt to have scenes where Downey dresses in drag. I rate this film 9/10.
On first viewing I was completely underwhelmed by this second outing for the world's greatest detective, although this might've been considerably flavoured by a cinema that would've been more effectivea fridge.<br/><br/>A second sitting, though, revealed a well-paced and thoroughly entertaining period romp, channelled, of course, through Guy Ritchie's highly-stylised lens.<br/><br/>The roguish, yet gentlemanly bromance between Sherlock and Watson, continues to blossom here, allowing for all manner of shenanigans typical of the period, and to add my voice to others suggesting likewise, both actors seemed born to play the parts of these characters.<br/><br/>The rest of the cast perform admirably, although naturally playing second fiddle to our two detectives, with Stephen Fry joining in the hi-jinxSherlock's brother.<br/><br/>Noomi Rapace is largely wasteda Gypsy plot-adhesive, yet continues to make a name for herself, regardless.<br/><br/>The story itself is one of diabolical ambition typically reserved for a Bond movie, with Moriarty, Sherlock's adversary wonderfully pinning down the archetypal villain in just the right measure of charm and menace.<br/><br/>The music is flawless, the scenes exciting, and the possibility of a further adventure is on the cards. All in all, it's pretty hard not to enjoy.<br/><br/>My only real criticism is a lack of moral understanding from Guy Ritchie, highlighted in two separate, but related conversations. In the first we hear Holmes analysing Moriarty's handwriting, which he claims suggests a lack of empathy bordering on moral insanity, yet within half an hour we hear Holmes criticise Moriarty for indulging in a hobby of feeding pigeon's which he dubs "…winged vermin". Surely even the most ignorant of moralists understands that it takes far more empathy for a person to relate to a bird than it does to another human. This actually shows Moriarty to have, either greater empathy than Holmes, or simply a lack of empathy regarding people.<br/><br/>That very minor detail aside, though, I thoroughly enjoyed it, although that may have also been coloured by the fine bottle of red, and the roll of green, I enjoyed whilst watching it.<br/><br/>Here's to the return of our fearless duo.
After quite a few tedious detours and distractions, when the film finally gets down to the business of a climax at a gathering of elite European diplomats in a precariously perched Swiss mountain castle, it becomes not half-bad.
While Dr John Watson (<a href="/name/nm0000179/">Jude Law</a>) makes plans for his upcoming wedding, eccentric detective Sherlock Holmes (<a href="/name/nm0000375/">Robert Downey Jr.</a>) has been keeping busy investigating a series of presumed terrorist attacks, bombings, and assassinations all over Europe. Holmes has somehow connected these to his nemesis, Professor James Moriarity (<a href="/name/nm0364813/">Jared Harris</a>), who warns him to cease with his investigations or he will consider the newlyweds fair game. Consequently, Holmes arranges to be on the same train to Brighton on which Watson and his bride Mary (<a href="/name/nm0717709/">Kelly Reilly</a>) are honeymooning. True to his word, Moriarity launches an attack on the lovebirds, and Holmes is forced to toss Mary from the train to the protection of his older brother Mycroft (<a href="/name/nm0000410/">Stephen Fry</a>). Holmes and Watson then go to Paris to find Madame Simka Heron (<a href="/name/nm0636426/">Noomi Rapace</a>), a gypsy whose brother Rene may be involved in helping Moriarty to instigate a world war. And so the game begins. Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is a standalone sequel to <a href="/title/tt0988045/">Sherlock Holmes (2009)</a> (2009). The character of Sherlock Holmes was created in 1887 by Scottish writer/physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) in the novel A Study in Scarlet and went on to appear in three more novels and 56 short stories. However, A Game of Shadows is not based on any of Doyle's books/stories but on a screenplay by American screenwriters Kieran and Michele Mulroney. <a href="/title/tt2094116/">Sherlock Holmes 3 (2020)</a> has been announced but no release date has been set. Professor James Moriarty is a criminal mastermind, described by Holmesthe "Napoleon of Crime". Doyle lifted the phrase from a real Scotland Yard inspector who was referring to Adam Worth (1844-1902), a thief whose criminal career spanned over two decades. Other real world models for Moriarty were Basil Zaharoff (1849-1936), a Greek arms dealer whose unscrupulous business practices earned him the nickname "the Merchant of Death", and Simon Newcomb (1835-1909) a renowned mathemetician who tried to ruin the reputations of rival scientists. By combining Worth's criminal savvy, Newcomb's mathematical genius, and Zaharoff's Machiavellian ruthlessness, Doyle created what is widely considered to be the first true example of a supervillain. Because he is depictedHolmes' greatest enemy, Moriarty is considered to be the primary antagonist of the entire series, despite only making one physical appearance, in the story "The Final Problem" (he is mentioned reminiscently in five other stories set after the events of "The Final Problem", and operates behind-the-scenes in "The Valley of Fear" which was published after "The Final Problem" but set before it). Other writers used him more frequently, cementing his reputationHolmes' archenemy. The film's depiction of Moriarty physically resembles Worth, but overall bears the strongest similarities to Zaharoff,he is attempting to provoke a war using advanced weaponry that he has developed. Zaharoff was privy to the latest developments in weapon technology (including the Maxim Gun which provided the real world inspiration for the film's "Little Hansel"), and during the Second Boer War, the Russo-Japanese War, and the Great War, he sold weapons to both sides in order to exacerbate the conflict and maximize profits. Mycroft Holmes is Sherlock Holmes' elder brother (by seven years). Possessing deductive powers exceeding even those of his younger brother, Mycroft is nonetheless incapable of performing detective work similar to that of Sherlock since he is unwilling to put in the physical effort necessary to bring cases to their conclusions. Nonetheless, if given all the facts and by the use of his superior deductive powers, he is able deduce the solution to any problem or case from the comfort of an armchair. This has led the British and other European governmentswellroyalty to frequently consult Mycroft's analytical mind on a number of key political decisions and strategies. After the soldiers fire "Little Hansel" (an artillery cannon that apparently fires individual shots that can rip apart trees), Holmes, Watson, and Simza are knocked to the ground by the shock wave of the blast. Holmes and Watson get up seeing the soldiers approaching. Though a little confusing or even jarring because the fight happens in a matter of seconds, what is seen plays outfollows. (1) Watson grabs one soldier's rifle and twists it, throwing its owner over. (2) Holmes trades punches with another soldier using his good hand. (3) Simza knocks aside another soldier. (4) a fourth soldier swings his rifle at Holmes, who kicks him in the chest. (5) A soldier brains Simza with the butt of his rifle, knocking her down, andhe aims his rifle, Watson shoots and kills him with a pistol. (6) Holmes knocks out another soldieranother cannonball hits nearby, forcing him to grab onto a nearby tree. (7) Another soldier advances on Holmes, who successfully dodges a shot fired at point-blank range (missing and hitting the tree instead). Holmes grabs the soldier's rifle, ejects the round, and knocks him out; then chambers a new round in a matter of seconds, passes the rifle to Watson, who shoots and wounds MoranMoran crests a rise. (8) As the party escapes on the train, Moran comes to his senses, steadies his breathing, aims his rifle, and picks off the unlucky gypsy bringing up the back of the escapees. Watson walks out on the terrace just in time to see both Holmes and Moriarity go over the railing together and tumble into the icy waters of Reichenbach Falls. Following Holmes' funeral, John and Mary prepare to leave on their belated honeymoon, and Watson finishes writing the story of his last case with Holmes. He types, "The End", justMary brings in a parcel delivered in the post. Opening it, Watson finds Mycroft's breathing apparatus and begins to question its meaning. In the final scene,John runs after Mary to find the delivery man, Holmes reveals himselfcleverly concealed on a lounge chair. He sits at Watson's typewriter and adds a question mark after "The End". Early in the film, Mycroft mentions, in a quiet tone, something along the lines of "hoping this business gets done before the peace summit up in Reichenbach," more than likely soto be subtle enough that people familiar with Sherlock Holmes' novels would catch it. When Conan Doyle grew tired of writing about Sherlock, he had him fall, with Professor Moriarty, at Reichenbach. In this film, the party is going to Reichenbach, and the two fall once more. Public demand for more stories forced the good doctor to write (as Dr. Watson) again, explaining how Holmes had not died but returned to life. In "The Adventure of the Empty House", the Conan Doyle story where Holmes returns "from the dead" (after three years away without telling Watson where he was), Holmes explains that he actually did not go over the falls with Moriarty—he pushed Moriarty over but did not fall himself. Instead, he clung to a ledge while someone (revealed to be Col. Sebastian Moran) heaved rocks at him, and then he escaped—whereupon he goes on his famous travels to Asia, France, etc. The movie alters this story,clearly both Holmes and Moriarty go off the balcony and fall down the frightening Reichenbach falls.
