Review: Sherlock Holmes - A Game of Shadows




The 'funny' and 'witty' Sherlock Holmes is back in by far the most entertaining screen adaptation of the cult classic. With 'zip-zap-zoom' director Guy Ritchie, you are assured every penny worth of the ticket stub.

Just walk into a screening of 'Sherlock Holmes - A Game of Shadows' and sit patiently as the director and the actors take you through at a slow and steady pace to what is called 'Sheer intelligence'.

There is drama, there is action and then you have Robert Downey Jr for the rest of it.

My friend living in Bombay called me up at 12 in the night to tell me - 'Varun, whatever happens; Do not miss this movie!'. And I went with great expectations only to be satiated by this masterpiece. I wouldn't want another sequel to this but this installment of Sherlock Holmes is far better than its prequel.

You see the mark of Guy Ritchie stamped in every frame of the movie.

Sherlock Holmes and his 'sidekick' Dr.Watson take on their arch-nemesis Dr.Stephen Moriarti in this game of shadows and why is it called a game of shadows... Well it is not so easy to answer.

Hans Zimmer has always been a talented composer and his tunes add the spices to this well baked masterpiece.

Watch it on screen to enjoy the intellectual brilliance in acting, movie-making and cinematography because this movie is not to be missed..


Rating: 3.5/5
