Leave your thoughts about Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.
| AALBC.comKam WilliamsWelcome to the 21st Century edition of Sherlock Holmes, a well-rounded gent as likely to flex his brawn as his brain! |
| Ultra CultureCharlie LyneTwo straight man inadvertently ending up in a scenario in which they appear to be homosexual can no longer be described as the height of comedic sophistication. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeThat rare thing -- the sequel that is better than the original. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertSet aside your memories of the Conan Doyle stories, save them to savor on a night this winter and enjoy this movie as a high-caliber entertainment. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin Covert"Diminishing returns" is a description that applies to many film series. "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows" is a delicious exception. |

| East Bay ExpressKelly VanceSame Victorian clutter, same overstuffed frames, same Guy Ritchie directorial hyperactivity. |
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenThe entire story is largely nonsensical and Holmes foresees all kinds of events he couldn't possibly foresee in real life, but it is all in good fun. There is plenty of comedy to go along with the drama and action. |
