FIVE OBSERVATIONS:
1 This film is just plain fun; there’s action, humour and an intriguing story. Robert Downey Jr is fantastic yet again and in more bizarre disguises this time.
2 Ritchie does an amazing job of the action sequences. The forest scene is classic Ritchie with its playful speed adjustments and the train sequence is a non-stop thrill ride. These two pieces are well worth the admission price alone.
3 Law and Downey provide the bromantic laughs yet again. Their fun dialogue and rescuing of each other carry this film along smoothly.
4 The Sherlock thought process seems a lot cleaner this time around. A great improvement over the first installment. Also the fact that Rachel McAdams role is greatly reduced helps as well.
5 I loved the music in this film. There is this great driving percussion that gets the adrenaline rushing. Sit back and enjoy the closing credit sequence as well.
RECOMMENDATION: See it in theatres now
