Movie Review: Sherlock Holmes A Game of Shadows

[snapdragon76]

So yes, mom and I went to see the new Sherlock movie. Short version: it was awesome.

Oh, you wanted a little bit more than that? I suppose.

First of all, we got a trailer for the new Batman movie. HOLY SHIT IT LOOKS AMAZING!!!! That is a must see fo' sho'.

Oh, and there will be spoilers ahead.



Irene was in it for all of five minutes. Then she was presumably killed off by Moriarity via a 'virulent strain of tuberculosis. She succumbed quickly.' I've never seen anyone murdered with TB before, so that was interesting.

Also, this is the second movie where Holmes loses a love interest. The first would be 'Young Sherlock Holmes.' AFAIK.

Speaking of Moriarity, Jared Harris looks spookily like his father in this film. Wow. I think it's the beard.

I'm glad they film the fight sequences with Holmes going over the entire sequence in his head. They were kinda hard to follow otherwise. Of course, not all of them went as planned...

I love Noomi Rapace as Shimza. She makes for a pretty kick ass French Gypsy I must say. Plus, she's pretty adorable.

Jude Law is still a handsome son of a bitch. I doubt I'd date him though given his track record.

Stephen Fry is awesome as Mycroft. The nicknames he and Holmes call each other. 'Sherly' and "Mykie'. ROFL!

There is so much HoYay in this movie. Much more than in the first one even and I didn't even think that was possible.

The scene in the forest where everyone is running and the bullets whiz by with portions in it in slo-mo, I think was pretty amazing. It wasn't overdone since the entire scene wasn't done that way. And all it is is a simple camera effect.

No Dubliners this time, but we do get cool Gypsy music playing over the credits, so that kinda made up for it.
