Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is a sequel to the 2009 film Sherlock Holmes and both of the films are based on Arthur Conan Doyle’s fictional characters. Main characters of the film are detective Sherlock Holmes, who is acted by Robert Downey Jr. and Dr. Watson, who is acted by Jude Law. Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is action mystery film and it has released on December 2011. The film has directed by Guy Ritchie and written by Kieran Mulroney and Michele Mulroney.
Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is founded on 1890s’s Europe, when threat of the First World War was close. Holmes’s and Watson’s enemy Professor Moriarty, who is acted by Jared Harris, tries to debase attitude of nations by different betrayals and in that way to help the First World War to start. Holmes and Watson try to stop Professor Moriarty with their new ally Simza, who is acted by Noomi Rapace. They travel along boundary of France and Germany and end up at last to peace negotiations in Alps of Switzerland. In the peace negotiations happen something unusual but if you want to know what, you have to watch the movie!
Sherlock Holmes’s actor must be sarcastic, narcissistic, selfish and a little irresponsible, wise and shrewd but actor still need to be person who really cares, though he shows it lamentably rarely. That’s why I think Robert Downey Jr. is perhaps the best actor to play him; Downey really knows how to act that kind of person.
Jared Harris comports with Moriarty’s role well, because Harris looks like conveniently egoistic and mean scientist.
There is at times slow-motion scenes in the movie when characters fight or they escape. This helps to understand those scenes much better and it makes movie original.
I liked Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows much, because it is very brilliant movie. It is fun, there’s action in there and it expresses meaning of friendship. There’s many opinions of that film: some loves it and some don’t. Your own opinion you get only watching it.
Enjoy the movie! =)
