Just got back and and thought it was as good and some ways better then the first. Loved it.

Didn't like it, I heard people saying if you liked the first movie( which I did) you should like this one, that was not the case! I should have gone to see the girl with the Dragon tattoo instead.

Really loved this movie, I didn't think it was quite as fun as the first and I have a few nitpicks, but overall a great film. I hope Hot Toys gets in on this!

 

[The Entity]

Saw it. Loved it. I hope this series continues.

Agreed!

I hope Hot Toys gets in on this!

Agreed!

I saw it today and loved it. It was just as good as the first one. Moriarty was one of the coolest villains ever.

Spoiler

I was kinda sad to see Adler die. You could see it coming especially after Moriarty cleared out the tearoom but its still made me sad.

 

[Bullseye]

Better than the first. Very enjoyable.

I felt the pacing is not as good as the first movie but the action is like ten times better!

Overall it's a fun movie but I wish there are more to the mystery angle. The first movie did that better (yes I love the scooby doo-ish plot)

I love how this movie ironically (being a reinvention) has the most faithful portrayal of Watson ever. Basically every other Sherlock Holmes movies out there has an overweight, bumbling, and foolish Watson which is a very tragic portrayal. A lot of them don't even bother with the limp and made no mention of his military training.

This must also be the very few Holmes movie that explores the depth of the relationship between Holmes and Watson. (The slight ____ but platonic relationship undertones is quite obvious in the stories).

Basically Holmes always needed Watson and Watson could never really let go of Holmes.

I am game for a third movie.

Really, really liked A Game of Shadows when I saw it Sunday night. Thought it was leaps and bounds better than the first.

Then last night I watched episode 1 of the second season of Sherlock from the BBC and had my mind absolutely blown. Talk about a way to start the new year off right with what will be undoubtedly one of the best 90 minutes of television we will see all year long. Nuanced, intelligent, and loaded with the mystique from all Sherlock lore, episode 1, A Scandal in Belgravia, was pure storytelling at its highest. From beginning to end, it twisted and turned in ways that no Hollywood studio would ever allow a Sherlock Holmes' film adaptation to. Makes both Ritchie films look utterly pedestrian, and I can honestly say, the REAL Sherlock is back! Cannot wait until Sunday for The Hounds of Baskerville.

I didnt like the first 20 minutes or so but it ended up being really good. It was about the same as the first one. Thumbs up.
