Went and saw the second installment of the Sherlock Holmes series starring Iron Man. Yes, Robert Downey Jr reprises his role as the good detective. This time he clashes with evil genius Dr. Moriarty in an epic battle of wits.
The movie was great. Guy Ritchie does it again with this. The plot is non-stop fun, action, and dry comedy reserved for those smart enough to grasp the jokes. Sometimes the language of the period in the movie makes it hard to follow but giving it time it sorts itself out.
The effects and great slow motion camera work are something to be seen. The movie isn’t loaded with a bunch of annoying CGI — rather there is excessive use of the slow motion scenes. Something I am not annoyed with at all. I actually enjoy them.
All in all this movie should be seen. If you saw the first one then you must see this chapter in the series. Don’t waste time, enjoy the holiday afternoon by taking in a great film.
Rating systems are dumb so to break it down much easier…
Plot: thumbs up!
Effects: thumbs up!
Overall: see it.
