Movie Review: Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

This movie brings back the brilliant Sherlock Holmes and his reluctant sidekick Watson to take on an evil mastermind, who we got a small glimpse of in the first movie, Professor Moriarty.  It’s a game of riddles, high speed chases, and underhanded deals.  It's very action packed, more so than the first one and Sherlock continues to show his vast unending knowledge on any obstacle that is put in front of him.  The problems I have with it were that it was almost too fast past and much harder to follow than the first.  Maybe it is a movie you need to see a couple times before you catch everything and some movies are that way but I feel like since they were able to make the first one in a manner that you could follow then they could have done the same with this one.  Also there is maybe an unbelievable part that I will not divulge but didn't agree that it could of happened in real life especially since Holmes is based on using pure logic to discover the truth of abnormal circumstances.  I still enjoyed it and will see it again on dvd.  I would give it a high 7 Ninja Stars out of 10 and would recommend it if you liked the first.
