Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows 2011


Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011)      Professor Moriarty has devised a diabolical plot to destabilize the entire Western world.  Instead of using his incredible intellect for good he has chosen to use it for evil.  Dr. Watson has just gotten married and the couple are targets only because they are involved with Sherlock Holmes.  Holmes must use all his wits to battle Professor Moriarty.
      I did not care for the first Sherlock Holmes in this series and this second installment is almost unwatchable.  You keep hoping it will get better and things will fall into place but they never seem to come together.  What is supposed to be funny is not, just tiresome.  2 ½* (This movie is so-so)

129 min, Action directed by Guy Ritchie with Robert Downey, Jr., Jude Law, Noomi Rapace, Rachel McAdams, Jared Harris, Stephen Fry, Paul Anderson, Kelly Reilly, Geraldine James, Eddie Marsan.

Note:  Blockbuster 3 ½*, imd 7.5 out of 10 , 61% critic 78% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
