When did Sherlock Holmes become so bad-ass? I read those books, and I don’t recall so many explosion and hand-to-hand combat? Maybe Michael Bay’s influence finally is starting to negatively affect other director. Eh, Guy Ritchie already was that way. Regardless, this should be good. In “Sherlock Holmes 2: A Game of Shadows,” Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) and his sidekick Dr. Watson (Jude Law) join forces to outwit and bring down their fiercest adversary, Professor Moriarty.
