     Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
2011  PG-13  ACTION  2h 9min
CAST— Robert Downey, Jr., Jude Law, Noomi Rapace, Jared Harris, Eddie Marsan, Rachel McAdams
MUSIC— Hans Zimmer  DIRECTOR— Guy Ritchie  BASED ON— Characters created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

     Despite a promising first entry (Sherlock Holmes [2009]) the newest retread of Arthur Conan Doyle’s seminal characters has fallen flat. Sherlock Holmes, now on his own due to Dr. John Watson’s pending nuptials, has uncovered a plot involving bombings, murder and money. All clues point to a most unlikely source: Professor James Moriarty, a quiet author, highly renowned on the lecture circuit. Holmes enlists Watson’s aid once again and, with the help of a beautiful gypsy girl, begin a deadly game of cat and mouse with the scheming Moriarty. Nowhere near as entertaining as its predecessor, this film tries to maintain energy but fails in almost every regard. No matter your opinion of the first film this one is not worth the time.
OUR RATING— **
PRECEDED BY— Sherlock Holmes (2009)
