Sherlock Holmes 2: A Game of Shadows is the sequel of Robert Downey’s blockbuster movie Sherlock Holmes. If you have enjoyed the first installment of the film, then you definitely have a lot of expectations for this highly anticipated sequel. But will the movie be able to live up to your expectations?
The movie picks up right where the first movie left off. Sherlock Holmes (Downey) digs deeper to unravel the crimes, corruption, blackmail and the web of murders orchestrated by Moriarty, his long time nemesis. Holmes trusted companion Dr. Watson (played y actor Jude Law), on the other hand, is busy preparing for his wedding.
The sequel has retained most of the best qualities of the first film installment – Downey’s irresistible charm, the superb chemistry and witty banter of Holmes and Dr. Watson, and the excellent action sequences. Aside from this, Moriarty has finally made an appearance in the second movie installment of Sherlock Holmes, which is played by Jared Harris (Mad Men actor).
Though the cast is superb and the acting is perfect, the movie falls behind when it comes to the story and character development. The story was formulaic, to say the least, and Ritchie (the director) failed to showcase the different side of the characters. Despite the drawbacks of the movie, Sherlock Holmes 2 is most definitely a great and must-see adventure/action flick. The amazing charisma of the actors masked the flaws of the movie. But while the film is sure to entertain if you are expecting to see a different side of Sherlock Holmes or dig deeper to his character, then you will likely be disappointed. Still, it is a good movie to watch after your phlebotomy training, during a romantic movie date with your girlfriend, or a weekend movie treat with the family.
