Sherlock Holmes 2: A Game of Shadows

IMDb rating: 7.7/10

My rating: 8.5/10

I’d been looking forward to seeing this film ever since it was announced that Guy Richie was going to make a sequel, seeing as I absolutely LOVED the first one!
It’s hard to be objective on how I would have reacted to certain aspects of the film, had I not already deduced what was gonna happen, (spoilers will follow) before entering the cinema: I was already convinced that Irene Adler was gonna die – which made me really sad, cause though she’s a very non-canon character in this film franchise, I really liked her character. Further more I’d read that the last part would take part at the Reichenbach Falls, so obviously Sherlock was gonna “die” along with Moriarty, so these parts was very anticlimactic to me, though I’m sure some people, who doesn’t know any Sherlock Holmes back story, or the likes, would have been quite surprised.
Cinematically (according to my computer this isn’t a proper word, anyway) the film had lots of treats, I’d say, which I ALWAYS enjoy!
The story, at times, seemed a bit far-fetched, and slow paced, but non the less it was very enjoyable. And let’s be honest: Robert Downey Jr.’s comical and sarcastic would be able to lift even the worst films to at least an average =P

Overall very enjoyable, funny, emotional, etc., though I’d say it was indeed very different from it’s predecessor - Enjoyed it A LOT!

BTW: Regarding the challenge, may I point out that there are 366 days in 2012?! =)
