Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) is continuing his crime stopping ways. He’s after a mysterious man who has bombed a number of establishments with no trace left behind. And just when he thinks he’s getting to the bottom of it, and getting down to it with the lovely Irene (Rachel McAdams) everything changes.
Now the game is really afoot as despite the impending nuptials for Dr. Watson (Jude Law), Sherlock has other plans and starts digging deeper for clues. Even though it’s Watson’s bachelor party, Holmes finds a clue with the lovely Madam Simza (Noomi Rapace)that gets him deeper into the understanding that his foe is as intelligent as any he has ever faced.
Professor James Moriarty (Jared Harris) will be one of Holmes’ toughest foes as he thinks ahead as quickly as Holmes does. What is the plan for this mastermind? He’s trying to incite a war so he can be the supplier and make money from those involved. The criminal plan is almost perfect, but Homes and Watson are on the case.
The second film featuring Downey Jr. and Law picks up with a bit of action that actually is quicker and tighter than the first film. Robert Downey Jr. looks effortless as he goes back to the disguise changing wise cracking sleuth. And with Jude Law at his side, Downey Jr. makes for a likable hero. With the disguises and wisecracking I wonder aloud if they every remake Fletch, how about Robert Downey Jr. in the role? But I digress...
Overall the film moves faster and the action rolls at you in scene after scene. There are witty and fun lines that bring the characters back to life in a way that will leave everyone satisfied. The game is afoot once more and I enjoyed playing along.
