Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

Reader, I am still laughing.

Okay, Irene Adler? If that is her end, I will be most hideously disappointed. Because it was unworthy of her. And left me with a bad taste in my mouth/a desire to leave the building.

But I'm glad I stayed, because I have not been half as entertained in a long time. That was a blast. I'm ridiculously entertained by jealous Holmes and Holmes-Watson banter; Noomi Rapace was excellent, but needed more awesome and more plot (although I am content to stare at that woman's cheekbones for hours); and Robert Downey Jr.'s eyebrows are kinda mesmerising.

Many mantelpiece items were shown and later put to use. The climax was perfect, and the conclusion had me thumping my thigh and cackling.

I may be cackling for a while yet. That was good entertainment.

I've seen it before Christmas, and I agree on Irene Adler. I loved the film despite its problems because it was just such a good romp it was never spiteful, and i like who Holmes, Watson, and Mary navigate their relationships.

Ah, that filmic fear of more than one active women in any film... But I share your hopes about Irene Adler.
