  48. Sherlock Holmes and his sidekick Dr. Watson join forces to outwit and bring down their fiercest adversary, Professor Moriarty.
  49. Sherlock Holmes is investigating terrorist attacks in London alone since his old partner Dr. John Watson will get married a few days later with Mary. His investigations point to Professor James Moriarty as the person responsible for the explosions. When Dr. Watson and Mary are attacked in the train while traveling for their honeymoon in Brighton, Holmes delivers Mary to the protection of his brother Mycroft. Soon Holmes and Dr. Watson disclose that Professor Moriarty has bought arms and ammunition factories and is trying to start a war in Europe killing political leaders and politicians. Now Sherlock and Watson have to stop Moriarty and his dangerous associate, the skilled former Colonel Sebastian Moran to avoid the imminent war.
  50. &#39;He played the game for the game&#39;s own sake&#39; would be a perfect description of Robert Downey Jr&#39;s take on Sherlock Holmes. He&#39;s matter of factly slick, inadvertently cool and cheekily eccentric not to mention a king of one liners. He returns to deliver superbly in this sequel to Guy Ritchie&#39;s &#39;Sherlock Holmes&#39; in an enthralling cat and mouse game between prodigies involving a clash between him and Sherlock Holmes&#39; classical, scheming nemesis, Professor James Moriarty played by Jared Harris. <br/><br/>Ritchie has directed a complementary film where everything and everyone seems to complement everything and everyone else whether the acting, dialogue, score or the sets. The plot is well crafted if not masterful but undoubtedly vastly entertaining. The usage of flashback storytelling, as seen in the prequel to this film, gives many enigmas in the movie a sense of finality; you can&#39;t help but be in awe of the manner of storytelling presented to you not to mention the filming style through which the narrative is presented. Don&#39;t be put off by the slow, almost uneventful start, it is certainly made worth your while very quickly. Occasionally, it can be hard to keep up, such is the pace with which events transpire, it does lose you at junctures but fear not, only temporarily. <br/><br/>This light hearted iteration of a mystery thriller is absorbing and compelling, much like its predecessor and we have to attribute it to the director and the acting talent in the film that the light hearted tone hasn&#39;t become slapstick as much as a new spin on the mystery and intrigue associated with Arthur Conan Doyle&#39;s classic Sherlock Holmes. <br/><br/>Robert Downey Jr. may yet again have been the star of the show but it&#39;s the chemistry between his Sherlock and Jude Law&#39;s Watson that really shines. Their dialogue interchanged is so fluid and natural not to mention damned entertaining. <br/><br/>Everyone&#39;s holding out for the climax though and it probably wasn&#39;t as fantastically revealing and ingenious as the first movie, but was well built up nonetheless. It&#39;s perhaps not how you envisaged it and in all likeliness, not how you wanted it to be either, or maybe it was
  51. In short, everything was good ... except the story, which is a bit annoying for a character that lives for that. <br/><br/>In other words, the cast was good (a unusual time when Law is watchable), the production has stunning visual as we take a European tour in XiXth , and Zimmer&#39;s score was perfect but all those efforts fail to produce something really captivating. <br/><br/>Unlike SH1, this sequel has a very dull and long beginning and really no direction: it&#39;s a succession of events not really tied together. For a genius detective, Holmes appears finally like a sort of Robocop, always programming fights with tugs and not really solving cases. However it was funny to see that like the video game, Holmes used red lines to have deduction. <br/><br/>Then, it&#39;s an endless babbling interlude about Watson&#39;s wedding and an useless train fight! The Parisian adventure is plagued by absurdity as the bad Moriarty (that lacks the charisma of Marc Strong in SH1) has to kill someone in a room that he makes explode! The German passage is another boring fight session and I had to wait the final in Switzerland to get at last a tense criminal thriller. It&#39;s not a surprise thus that Noomi hasn&#39;t really the opportunity to shine: her best moment is her introduction because the way she says &quot;&#39;i&#39;m Madame Zimza&quot; is really charming!<br/><br/>By expanding the scope of an European playground and run after a big conspiracy, Holmes loses his originality all along and this sequel appears more like a James Bond movie done by gaslight!
  52. Wither the rollicking verve and whip-crack humor in Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows?
  53. While Dr John Watson (<a href="/name/nm0000179/">Jude Law</a>) makes plans for his upcoming wedding, eccentric detective Sherlock Holmes (<a href="/name/nm0000375/">Robert Downey Jr.</a>) has been keeping busy investigating a series of presumed terrorist attacks, bombings, and assassinations all over Europe. Holmes has somehow connected these to his nemesis, Professor James Moriarity (<a href="/name/nm0364813/">Jared Harris</a>), who warns him to cease with his investigations or he will consider the newlyweds fair game. Consequently, Holmes arranges to be on the same train to Brighton on which Watson and his bride Mary (<a href="/name/nm0717709/">Kelly Reilly</a>) are honeymooning. True to his word, Moriarity launches an attack on the lovebirds, and Holmes is forced to toss Mary from the train to the protection of his older brother Mycroft (<a href="/name/nm0000410/">Stephen Fry</a>). Holmes and Watson then go to Paris to find Madame Simka Heron (<a href="/name/nm0636426/">Noomi Rapace</a>), a gypsy whose brother Rene may be involved in helping Moriarty to instigate a world war. And so the game begins. Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is a standalone sequel to <a href="/title/tt0988045/">Sherlock Holmes (2009)</a> (2009). The character of Sherlock Holmes was created in 1887 by Scottish writer/physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) in the novel A Study in Scarlet and went on to appear in three more novels and 56 short stories. However, A Game of Shadows is not based on any of Doyle&#39;s books/stories but on a screenplay by American screenwriters Kieran and Michele Mulroney. <a href="/title/tt2094116/">Sherlock Holmes 3 (2020)</a> has been announced but no release date has been set. Professor James Moriarty is a criminal mastermind, described by Holmes as the &quot;Napoleon of Crime&quot;. Doyle lifted the phrase from a real Scotland Yard inspector who was referring to Adam Worth (1844-1902), a thief whose criminal career spanned over two decades. Other real world models for Moriarty were Basil Zaharoff (1849-1936), a Greek arms dealer whose unscrupulous business practices earned him the nickname &quot;the Merchant of Death&quot;, and Simon Newcomb (1835-1909) a renowned mathemetician who tried to ruin the reputations of rival scientists. By combining Worth&#39;s criminal savvy, Newcomb&#39;s mathematical genius, and Zaharoff&#39;s Machiavellian ruthlessness, Doyle created what is widely considered to be the first true example of a supervillain. Because he is depicted as Holmes&#39; greatest enemy, Moriarty is considered to be the primary antagonist of the entire series, despite only making one physical appearance, in the story &quot;The Final Problem&quot; (he is mentioned reminiscently in five other stories set after the events of &quot;The Final Problem&quot;, and operates behind-the-scenes in &quot;The Valley of Fear&quot; which was published after &quot;The Final Problem&quot; but set before it). Other writers used him more frequently, cementing his reputation as Holmes&#39; archenemy. The film&#39;s depiction of Moriarty physically resembles Worth, but overall bears the strongest similarities to Zaharoff, as he is attempting to provoke a war using advanced weaponry that he has developed. Zaharoff was privy to the latest developments in weapon technology (including the Maxim Gun which provided the real world inspiration for the film&#39;s &quot;Little Hansel&quot;), and during the Second Boer War, the Russo-Japanese War, and the Great War, he sold weapons to both sides in order to exacerbate the conflict and maximize profits. Mycroft Holmes is Sherlock Holmes&#39; elder brother (by seven years). Possessing deductive powers exceeding even those of his younger brother, Mycroft is nonetheless incapable of performing detective work similar to that of Sherlock since he is unwilling to put in the physical effort necessary to bring cases to their conclusions. Nonetheless, if given all the facts and by the use of his superior deductive powers, he is able deduce the solution to any problem or case from the comfort of an armchair. This has led the British and other European governments as well as royalty to frequently consult Mycroft&#39;s analytical mind on a number of key political decisions and strategies. After the soldiers fire &quot;Little Hansel&quot; (an artillery cannon that apparently fires individual shots that can rip apart trees), Holmes, Watson, and Simza are knocked to the ground by the shock wave of the blast. Holmes and Watson get up seeing the soldiers approaching. Though a little confusing or even jarring because the fight happens in a matter of seconds, what is seen plays out as follows. (1) Watson grabs one soldier&#39;s rifle and twists it, throwing its owner over. (2) Holmes trades punches with another soldier using his good hand. (3) Simza knocks aside another soldier. (4) a fourth soldier swings his rifle at Holmes, who kicks him in the chest. (5) A soldier brains Simza with the butt of his rifle, knocking her down, and as he aims his rifle, Watson shoots and kills him with a pistol. (6) Holmes knocks out another soldier as another cannonball hits nearby, forcing him to grab onto a nearby tree. (7) Another soldier advances on Holmes, who successfully dodges a shot fired at point-blank range (missing and hitting the tree instead). Holmes grabs the soldier&#39;s rifle, ejects the round, and knocks him out; then chambers a new round in a matter of seconds, passes the rifle to Watson, who shoots and wounds Moran as Moran crests a rise. (8) As the party escapes on the train, Moran comes to his senses, steadies his breathing, aims his rifle, and picks off the unlucky gypsy bringing up the back of the escapees. Watson walks out on the terrace just in time to see both Holmes and Moriarity go over the railing together and tumble into the icy waters of Reichenbach Falls. Following Holmes&#39; funeral, John and Mary prepare to leave on their belated honeymoon, and Watson finishes writing the story of his last case with Holmes. He types, &quot;The End&quot;, just as Mary brings in a parcel delivered in the post. Opening it, Watson finds Mycroft&#39;s breathing apparatus and begins to question its meaning. In the final scene, as John runs after Mary to find the delivery man, Holmes reveals himself as cleverly concealed on a lounge chair. He sits at Watson&#39;s typewriter and adds a question mark after &quot;The End&quot;. Early in the film, Mycroft mentions, in a quiet tone, something along the lines of &quot;hoping this business gets done before the peace summit up in Reichenbach,&quot; more than likely so as to be subtle enough that people familiar with Sherlock Holmes&#39; novels would catch it. When Conan Doyle grew tired of writing about Sherlock, he had him fall, with Professor Moriarty, at Reichenbach. In this film, the party is going to Reichenbach, and the two fall once more. Public demand for more stories forced the good doctor to write (as Dr. Watson) again, explaining how Holmes had not died but returned to life. In &quot;The Adventure of the Empty House&quot;, the Conan Doyle story where Holmes returns &quot;from the dead&quot; (after three years away without telling Watson where he was), Holmes explains that he actually did not go over the falls with Moriarty—he pushed Moriarty over but did not fall himself. Instead, he clung to a ledge while someone (revealed to be Col. Sebastian Moran) heaved rocks at him, and then he escaped—whereupon he goes on his famous travels to Asia, France, etc. The movie alters this story, as clearly both Holmes and Moriarty go off the balcony and fall down the frightening Reichenbach falls. a5c7b9f00b
