Bringing him into the fold, he immediately is tenfold better than Mark Strong ever could have hoped to be. The character's presence was felt throughout the first film, but the film noticeable lost its edge by simply referring to him in passing and hinting at what a sequel could have had in store. and Law are just as impeccable and well matched as they were the first time round, the film benefits greatly from the addition of Harris as Moriarty. Where the first film flopped around, this film picks up the slack. The art direction is just as incredible as it was, and the special effects seem to have been improved greatly. It stalls here and there, as I imagined it would, but it never lingers like the original did. There is a clear storyline, and an even clearer path of where the film wants to go. Even though the story is a bit wonky in certain respects (more on that in a moment), I feel A Game of Shadows manages to feel a lot more grounded than the original. It ups the thrills and the action, continues the fun, and delivers one of the better sequel going experiences this year. With less of a focus on the occult, a stronger plot and a significantly more interesting villain, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows outdoes its predecessor in many respects. He enlists the help of his sidekick, Watson (Law), to help him uncover the truth, before it is too late. Sherlock Holmes (Downey Jr.) believes it to be the work of the brilliant Professor James Moriarty (Jared Harris). Europe is at the brink of war, with many little seemingly unconnected events occurring across the nations. With the obvious sequel Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows upon us, I figured I would go in with much lower expectations and brace for something along the same lines. I came in incredibly excited to see it, and left wishing it had ended sooner. It was a really stylish and well-made film, but the storyline bored me to tears. and Jude Law, I was very much let down by Sherlock Holmes when I first saw it a few years ago. As much as I loved the character interactions and insane chemistry between Robert Downey Jr.
