Intriguing! Robert Downey Jr. returns as Sherlock Holmes and Jude Law returns as Dr. Watson. Jared Harris plays the villain in the film Professor James Moriarty, who is such a gentleman. This time Holmes has met his match. This may be the one that cannot be caught. Matched in wits and brains Moriarty definitely catches his attention by his dastardly deeds. He likes to go around blowing people up. The special effects are wonderful! The scene where Holmes and Watson are on the train and it explodes is loud and perfectly timed. The fight sequences are also very effective. The scene where Holmes gets in a fight is interesting because he acts out the fight in his head and we see it playing out in slow motion. Then he does it in real time and the fight goes right according to his plans.
This film has more action and bigger and louder explosions. The scene where they are running through the forest as they flee the Germans is amazing because the Germans are shooting missiles and bombs at them. The cinematography of the German countryside and the ocean view when they were on a ship is simply beautiful. This film is truly an adventure on a grand scale.
One of the most intense moments of the film is when Holmes ad Moriarty are playing chess and matching wits against eachother. No chess game has so much riding on it. The fate of the world depends on this one. Holmes really demonstrates what a true genius he is, although Moriarty doesn’t make it easy. You can really see just how much mutual respect they have for one another. Yet they both despise each other. This film is full of intrigue and action. It’s a must see. It deserves 4 out of 5 popcorn bags.
