The first Sherlock Holmes film quickly became one of my favorite movies of all time. I was very excited to see the second film to see if they could carry on the momentum.
The film is set a few months after the events of the first film. Watson is ready for his stag party but Holmes is completely obsessed with tracking down Morarty and stopping whatever evil plans he has.
All of the original cast return and they are joined by a few new characters. When the film started I was a little concerned as it did not seam to have anything new to offer. It was just more of the same and it felt it was not as well done. But by the time it got to the half way point all was forgiven and the conclusion of the film leaves you wanting so much more.
Guy richie uses the same style that he set up In the first film but to even greater effect in this one. The cast all really do great in their respective rolls and it is nice to see the Swedish actress Noomi Rapace from the millennium movies in the first roll I have seen her in in a big budget Hollywood picture.
Well worth a watch, but make sure you have seen the first film before you watch it.
