REVIEW: Sherlock Holmes: A game of shadows



PLOT:
Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey, Jr.) and his longtime trusted associate, Doctor Watson (Jude Law), take on their arch-nemesis, Professor Moriarty (Jared Harris), with the help of Holmes's older brother Mycroft Holmes (Stephen Fry) and a gypsy named Sim (Noomi Rapace).







THE FILM IT SELF:
What to think about this movie. Its an action/mystery movie with a tip of humor in it. That is for sure. If you liked the first Sherlock Holmes movie in this franchise then you’ll certainly like this movie for sure.

Robert Downey, Jr. is back as Sherlock Holmes and Jude Law as Watson. And the chemistry is still there. They play perfectly together on the screen. Also they really breath there character.

Now in this flick we meet Jared Harris as Professor Moriarty for the first time. I can only say wow. Mr. Harris just dictates everything when he is on the screen. Your expected to hate his character and yet, I could not entirely. He has a sort of charismatic I really appreciate.

You also see Stephen Fry as the brother of Holmes, Mycroft Holmes. Stephen does a more then descent act.

Noomi Repace on the other hand is not bad, but a little underwhelming. Not bat, just not as good as it could.

THE BLU- RAY:

Warner bros home entertainment gives us a 1080p transfer that is more than descent for today’s Blu-Ray standards on picture quality.

On the other hand we get a gorgeous audio track. It has a rich base with a colourful swing. Dialogue is also very clear. With other words sound track gives us everything we can desire.

CONCLUSION:

If you liked the previous Sherlock film or in the mood for a relaxing mystery then this is the one for you. The Blu- Ray is more then average for today’s standards. But nothing special.

FINAL SCORE: 8/10
