Sherlock Holmes : A Game of Shadows

Directed by Guy Ritchie
Staring Robert Downey Jr., Rachel McAdams, Noomi Rapace, Jude Law and Jared Harris
Rated M
Score 5/6

Sherlock Holmes and his sidekick Dr. Watson join forces to outwit and bring down their fiercest adversary, Professor Moriarty.

Guy Ritchie really should be congratulated for not following the trend that seems to be engulfing so many movies by releasing a 3D print of ‘A Game of Shadows’.
There was an interesting sense of stop motion flair with some of the action sequences that have been influenced by motion comics. I suppose it could be argued that this technique was overused and possibly should only have been used in some of the key action moments. Watching Downey Jr. And Law’s performances I could not help but think the two where channelling a dysfunctional older and younger brother relationship, which has clearly developed since the last movie.
