thanks

I went in thinking 'this is only a sequel.' I left yearning for the next one. SHII plunges us back into the now well established characters, who we suddenly love and appreciate for their eccentricities. To bring this out, there is far less of the fantastical magic scenes that dominated its predecessor, and far more of Holmes? deductive reasoning. We also appreciate how Holmes and Watson are a hand and glove team, each with an amazing, split-second appreciation of the next save-the-day-move that simply must be done, and is done. Apparently the producers finally realized that these are precisely the skills that gave the detective series its enduring following. As to the evil guy, the movie concentrates on his driving greed. This was believable. He positioned himself to become a war-profiteer, and did his best to ignite WWI - early. This was far easier to grasp and appreciate than the earlier version, where it seemed to be some crazy desire for evil domination. Bully ho ho!

This film, like the others, is witty and fun-full of twists and turns and suspense. It will keep you laughing while on the edge of your seat. If you want to be entertained then go see this movie!

It took a little too long for the movie to develop. Grade: B

I loved the first Sherlock Holmes, but this one was EVEN BETTER! Lots of action, suspense, intrigue and comedy, set in a well-done staging and effects... great actors, great storyline, lots of moving parts, I will own this one when it comes out! :) GO SEE IT!
