I was a big fan of the first film. What was not to
like? You had two strong acting leads,
engaging story and some highly impressive cinematography. So, when they announced the sequel I knew it’d
be a film to check out. It was…after all…elementary my dear reader. ;)
Without spoiling too much for fear of angry hordes coming to
my horse, stringing me up by my toes and making me watch 10 hours of Dora the
Explorer I will make the description brief.
This film takes place a little after the first film, Watson is getting
married and Holmes of course isn’t a fan.
Needless to say the honeymoon gets a little exciting…if you know what I
mean. And by that I mean merciless
killers attack them on a train leading to an exciting and charismatically entertaining
romp as Holmes and Watson discover the dastardly plot of Moriarty who Holmes
has been tracking for sometime.
The cinematography is even more impressive this time
around. Slow motion sequences of
explosions and bullets as well as the always enjoyable fight scenes. The final fisticuffs between Holmes and Moriarty
is especially impressive. As always,
sprinkled in is the witty banter between the two leads as they take a beating
on this adventure.
It’s a brilliant tapestry of detailed set pieces and rich
characters.
This is a film not to be missed if you at all enjoyed the
first film. If you haven’t seen the
first, do yourself the favor of seeing it first and then renting this one. It’s worth it.
