## Description

The good news is, Dr. Watson does get married. The bad news is, Sherlock Holmes throws his bride off a moving train. Actually, there's even worse news than that--but all will be explained in Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows , the sequel to Guy Ritchie's 2009 hit. Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law return to their roles as Holmes and Watson, as the duo take on the world's greatest criminal mind, Professor Moriarty (Jared Harris), a man whose latest scheme has global implications. Sherlockians who prefer their consulting detective to remain in a traditional mode had best look the other way, for the sequel continues Ritchie's vision of Holmes as a hard-punching action hero hurtling through a barrage of special effects sequences. If you can go with that, A Game of Shadows actually improves on the first film: the story makes a little more sense (or possibly the whole thing moves so smoothly you don't notice the illogic), Harris is a delicious villain, and new cast members Noomi Rapace (from the Swedish Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series) and Stephen Fry (playing Sherlock's brother Mycroft, who calls his sibling "Sherlie") add appeal. It's all frivolous and superficial, but the film's playful attitude and breathless forward motion are skillfully managed--and the final note adds just the right punctuation. --Robert Horton Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (Summer2015MM/DVD) The game is afoot once more! Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law reprise their roles as Holmes and Watson in the supersleuth sequel to the mystery megahit that minted over a half billion dollars worldwide. While vying with Watson's soon-to-be wife for the Doctor's time and attention, the detective extraordinaire matches wits with his arch-nemesis Professor Moriarty (Mad Men's Jared Harris), a criminal genius who's conspiring to make a fortune by manufacturing the next generation of wartime weaponry that the world's great powers will be forced to use against one another... once Moriarty succeeds in provoking World War I, of course. Joining the dynamic duo on their adventure is a feisty gypsy (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo's Noomi Rapace) and Sherlock's craftier but crazier older brother Mycroft (Stephen Fry).

Review: A great movie!! - I wasn't expecting much from the movie because the books hadn't excited me that much. But i was surprised. This movie has a great story line, great actors who did their job and know how to play their characters, hilarious lines, and great action sequences. Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law have amazing chemistry that puts the audience on their seats waiting to see what they do next. Jude Law, who plays Dr. Watson,looks out for Sherlock Holmes, played by Robert Downey Jr. Yet at the same time, Robert Downey Jr. is the leader of the two. Sherlock Holmes is eccentric, quirky, weird, yet brilliant. Dr. Watson is almost the opposite of that, down to earth, realistic, and sensible. It is fascinating to see the relationship of these two paradoxical people who form the greatest detective pair of all time. This movie is absolutely one of the most funny movies I have ever seen. We've all seen Robert Downey Jr. do his thing in Avengers and Iron man and he brings the same type of hilarity into this movie. His sarcasm, irony and what ever else he adds to it is absolutely priceless. And contrast that with Dr. Watsons stoicism and you get unendless humor. This movie is also pure action. They have bombs exploding everywhere. Trees blowing up, canon firing, and gunfire through the whole thing. Not only do you have strong action, but you also have more subtly action such as poison, disguises, and brilliance. And most of the action is clean, which means no gore. The action in this movie is not tension filled action, the comedy plays into the action in an intriguing way which makes the movie light hearted, yet serious. Some people claim that Robert Downey Jr. plays Sherlock Holmes in a way that he shouldn't be played. But I disagree. True, he may not play the Sherlock Holmes that we all read about but should he? If Robert Downey Jr. played that Sherlock Holmes I think that the movie would be very boring. Robert Downey Jr. adds a twist to Sherlock Holmes that cannot be paralled in the movie industry. Buy the movie or rent it from the library to see if this movie is really as good as I claim it to be. Enjoy!
Review: RDJ is the man - "Sherlock Holmes," starring Robert Downey Jr., is an invigorating take on the classic detective story. Directed by Guy Ritchie, the film brings a fresh and dynamic energy to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's beloved character. Downey Jr. delivers a charismatic and eccentric portrayal of Sherlock Holmes, blending intelligence, wit, and physical prowess in a way that feels both modern and true to the original character. The film's plot is engaging, filled with twists and turns that keep the audience on the edge of their seat. Jude Law's portrayal of Dr. John Watson is equally compelling, providing a perfect counterpart to Downey Jr.'s Holmes. Their chemistry is one of the film's highlights, showcasing a deep and believable friendship amidst the chaos of their adventures. Visually, the movie is stunning, with Ritchie's signature style adding a gritty yet stylish aesthetic to Victorian London. The action sequences are well-choreographed, and the use of slow-motion effects during Holmes' fight scenes adds a unique flair. Overall, "Sherlock Holmes" is a thrilling and entertaining film that successfully reinvents a classic character for a new generation.

What is the actual difference between HD (high definition) and SD (standard definition)? HD has many more lines of pixels, top to bottom and as a result delivers finer images. HD's pixels range from 720p/1080p lines. SD delivers 480 lines. Your PC must allow HD images if you select that feature. I haven't enjoyed a movie so much in years. It is beautifully photographed, exciting, suspenseful and frequently hysterically funny. Robert Downey, jr. as Sherlock Holmes delivers a performance you won't forget. He's sexy, funny, never wears a deer stalker but he steeples his hands and smokes a pipe in good old Conan Doyle style. Jude Law is a perfect Watson, although not as thick-headed as the original doctor, and he's brave and just as quick with his fists as Sherlock. Jared Harris's not quite ugly face as Moriarty is sinister because he is not sinister but his eyes are cold as frozen fish and his gap-toothed smile contains no warmth. Stephen Fry as Mycroft Holmes, Sherlock's brother, is very much like Conan Doyle created him, being huge and corpulent and so unconventional that at one point he enters a room stark naked. A new character, not in the Canon is the gypsy fortune teller, Simza, played by Noomi Rapace. Dark-haired Noomi is actually Swedish, but she fits the role of the swarthy gypsy fortune teller, not a damsel in distress, exactly, she comes out swinging, but her brother is part of Professor Moriarty's crime syndicate and she is in danger of being liquidated by the Professor. Holmes and Watson are her knights in shining armor. "A Game of Shadows" is a great brew in all respects, and is right at home Victorian England,. It is a romp so full of action your eyeballs may get tired as they try to keep up. It's moving, too, you may even need a hanky close by. Don't miss this one! It's just plain fun!
