Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows Reviews:
3.5 stars out of 4 -- "It's Downey's movie. With his cool, flippant manner, his Holmes stands apart from the danger, thinking it through visually before performing it, remaining insouciant in the face of calamity." -- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"Law's down-to-earth and slightly fussy Watson proves once again to be the right counterweight to Downey's flighty, fidgety, flinty Holmes.... Downey has made this sly sardonic Sherlock stylistically all his own." -- Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times
"The play between wild-eyed Downey and the serenely unsettling Harris crackles with a chemistry befitting Doyle’s iconic literary nemeses as Moriarty stays coolly one step ahead of our hero... "-- Movieline Critic, Movieline
"Director Guy Ritchie loves whooshy, rapid-fire speed shifts, and uses them for hypnotic sequences... "-- Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
4 stars out of 5 -- "HOLMES 2 is an improvement on its predecessor.... In the action department, it scores a bullseye... "-- Neil Smith, Total Film
"Ritchie comes up with breathtaking moments.... A GAME OF SHADOWS is lively and diverting... "-- Kim Newman, Sight and Sound.
