Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

Soooooo, No pictures for this post because I saw this in theaters! HAD to catch the big screen for this one.

Now, I'm trying to write about films that kind of unknown, or under appreciated on this blog but I really enjoyed this movie because well... It's Sherlock Holmes!

Director: Guy Ritchie Starring Robert Downey Jr, Jude Law and Noomi Rapace 

(Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Swedish films)

Amazing cast right off the bat! Jude Law and Robert Downey have such on screen chemistry and work so well together. It makes watching them entertaining, almost as if you can see yourself and your best friend in their shoes. A level-headed, sensible guy and uh... how to describe Downey... ? -____-  that guy who's the !#$@ing man

Can't think of a word that does him justice. 

So... Sherlock Holmes.... and Sir Watson... I'm sure everyone and their mother will see this but I loved it so much I had to write about it. The plot is so full of twists and turns and just when you think Sherlocks SOL, he pulls something magical out of that petticoat! haha For those who never read the novels or short stories or comics, there are a few things in the movie that go unexplained but are quite important references. Still, it's not hard to follow along :)

My favorite scene is the running through the woods scene after the train yard. The visuals are FANTASTIC. I was blown away. I felt as I was watching a video game come to life! The slowed scenes are just breathtaking and who doesn't love that time period in England :) 

Cinematography by Philippe Rousselot, James Herbert with the editing and Studios: Village Roadshow Pictures and Silver Pictures. wow. *claps* Bravo. 

The humor and sarcasm were a plus in the 1st movie and even better in this one. 

 I'm not positive how much the film grossed but it's worth the ticket to see it on the big screen. Well, nowadays peoples television sets are bigger than their cars so....

Instead of downloading and streaming (which ultimately leads to higher ticket prices because of all that) pay the tribute to the production companies and the actors and directors and all the people it takes to make a film and buy a ticket or buy the movie. 

A++ !
