My daughter and I went out last night and watched a pair of brand new movies, including "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows".
We loved the film, it had just the right amount of action and humor. It was interesting to see the same guy who played in "Fringe" as freaky guy from the other side "David Robert Jones" playing Professor James Moriarty, Jared Harris. (Fun fact: He's Richard Harris' son -- now that I think about it, I can see the VERY strong family resemblance). Stephen Fry has taken up the mantle of playing Sherlock's "smarter" brother, Mycroft, and MAN is Mycroft an even larger (in more ways than one) ass than Sherlock (whom he refers to as "Sherly" as in "Shirley") can be.
It's been noted that there is more "steampunk" content in the background in this movie than in the previous film. As a fan of the genre, this doesn't bother me at all.
If you choose to see it, I hope you love it as much as we did.
