Year: 2011

Director: Guy Ritchie

Cast: Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, Noomi Rapace.

IMDB: 7.9

Seen: December 19th 2011

My Rating: 8/10

When I saw Sherlock Holmes a few months ago, I knew for sure that I wanted to see the second one. Another adventure of mr Holmes and his sidekick dr. Watson. Same two actors, the same director and an even better rating on IMDB.

The story starts very 'sherlockesk'. Sherlock himself is acting weird again and he's recommended to go see a doctor. But it soon gets very confusing. Holmes is mingled in a fight already, and the viewer has not go a clue why. It does get clearer as the story continues, but someone of average intelligence will have to watch it at least twice. The directing, the cinematography and the story however, are all better than the previous film, which I suppose makes it equal to the first, and therefore I rate it 8/10!

All in all, go see it!
