I Was Let Down by 'A Game of Shadows'.

I recently watched the sequel to the 2009 mystery/detective flick: 'Sherlock Holmes' reading the tagline: 'A Game of Shadows'. I was most certainly enthusiastic right before I enter the theater; and then I most certainly felt otherwise with the fallout of the sequel.

In this sequel, we again follow an adventure to Holmes' life alongside his Dr. friend, Watson in a new mystery of a man equal to Sherlock's intellect, only lacking conscience and oozing with fiendish thoughts, Professor Moriarty who designed of somewhat a puzzle that linked murders and killings. Holmes is to prove his theory.

Palling around with Dr. Watson (Jude Law), Robert Downey, Jr., I believe is less this film. The film is too complicated and coincidentally with the theme of the flick; you'd need Holmes or Professor Moriarty's intellect to fully unlock the plot. Dull styling is an added dilemma to the flick, favoring from fluctuating the speed and other unwise attempts. While it suffers from problems likewise to the first; the friendship between Dr. Watson and Sherlock Holmes definitely ravishes the movie. Probably the likability of Downey, Jr. stirs up the efficiency of friendship of the buddies to the flick. Downey plays the character well, but out staged by Jude Law (unsurprisingly with his skillful acting via 'Contagion'), messy hair; unshaven; black-eyed; what else? I most grimaced when I figured that Downey has such talent (like Johnny Depp) but rather accepts project that juggles his charisma on-cam and even masquerades his true acting skills.

I was let down by the movie. If you're a movie critic, then you'd have loads of grimacing words to say; however if you're a viewer trying to look for some sting of action and satire, then Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is a hand-pick. 3 stars.
