Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

This is the second go around for the new Sherlock Holmes franchise. Looking back at the first one and the success it had it was easy to see this one was going to do just as well and at over $500 million world wide I would say it did just that.

This go around revolves around the marriage of Dr Watson and is what brings the two together and sets them on their journey in this story. I still see this franchise as taking the playbook away from the Pirates franchise. Pretty much the same formula. Smart but quirky main character with smart side characters to help him and push him in the right direction.

The look of the movie was fairly average. Nothing really jumped out at me and wowed me. To me it's a pretty average action flick and is some thing to try to see if you are a fan of the Holmes universe. Plenty of good acting and the story isn't so bad.
