Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011)

Much better than the first one. Lots more of the stuff that makes Holmes good - ie him actually being a detective - plus Moriarty is done really well. It still has a lot of the same problems, though - the 'bickering couple' dynamic and Holmes' clownish/bitchy persona, plus Ritchie's 'throw every trick in the book at it' directing style which scuppers some nicely designed action scenes. Still not quite as good as Shanghai Knights, but closer!
Rating: Good
