Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows /Rated PG-13/

Synopsis: Perhaps the greatest detective of all time a master in hand to hand combat and truly a master of disguise; Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) once again teams up with his newly wed partner Dr. John Watson (Jude Law) in their most complex case ever! When Europe is at the brink of war there are events that just don't connect,. Sherlock suspects this is the work of Professor James Moriarty (Jared Harris) and with the help of a Sherlock's brother Mycroft Holmes (Stephen Fry) and a gypsy named Madam Simza Heron (Noomi Rapace) they most uncover the truth and find out what Professor James Moriarty really wants before it's to late.

I give this movie out of a 1-10 scale a: 8: This film I have to say personally had one of the best endings I have ever seen, it was an amazing cliff hanger although as much as I want to tell you I can't spoil. Just for future reference when reading this blog I will try to tell you about the plot as little as possible because when people put the *spoilers* thing most people end up reading it anyway even if they don't want to hear it.. Back to the film, all I will say about the ending is they are definitely going to make a third one. I loved the chemistry between Sherlock and Watson, some of the humor and sarcastic parts were hilarious. It was really cool how when Sherlock closes his eyes before he fights someone he knows their personalities so well he can predict their fighting moves. Another aspect I liked in this movie is a lot of the scenes were in slow motion which if the producers do it right, it makes it a lot more interesting, coodos to the producer for that. The casting of characters was a great choice and from what I heard about the first film, this one was even better! This is one of the first mystery movies I really have enjoyed and trust me if you go and see it, you are engaged the entire time whether it's a humorous part or an action packed scene you will be interested. I do encourage you to come out and see the film Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, and also please see the first movie and if you have leave me a comment and tell me how good it was, thanks!
