"I'm knee-deep in the single most important case of my career."

Even though it competed against Avatar during its theatrical run, 2009's Sherlock Holmes grossed in excess of $500 million at the worldwide box office, making a sequel a high priority for Warner Brothers. Arriving two years after its predecessor, 2011's Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is a well-realised follow-up tha... read more

And here we are again, yet another sequel of a movie that did so well the first time. Guess what? It is an excellent sequel. You simply put two elements, and not necessarily two opposite elements, and the chemical reaction between them causes an enormous explosion on the BIG screen.

I saw the trailers and I was skeptical in the beginning but this was one movie I wouldn't miss watchin... read more

A sequel that is better than its predecessor.

After the incredibly fun, amusing yet slightly overrated predecessor back in 2009, we are granted with another Christmas treat - the sequel, but this one looked a lot darker, perhaps funnier and more serious. Being a film based upon fictional legends, you’re going to have to fill in the realism of the 1800s, the actors to give solid performances as if they were really that character and yet to a... read more

An average movie

“Oh dear... It seems that the days of 'Snatch.' are long gone... What I mean by that is that 'Snatch' is one of my favorite movies ('Lock, stock...' was pretty good too) and, back in those days, Guy Ritchie seemed to be one of the most promising directors. However, his career went down pretty bad but he seems to be back in the game with 'RocknRolla' and 'Sherlock Holmes' which were both very well received. Personally, even though I enjoyed those two movies, I never thought they were that amazing but since 'Sherlock Holmes' was a huge box-office hit, of course, they had to come up with a sequel. Eventually, it was not bad but not much more, I'm afraid. I mean, it was visually really appealing (something Guy Ritchie still knows how to handle), Robert Downey Jr. was quite brilliant, as usual, ” read more
