Synopsis: While Watson discovered the married life, Sherlock takes him to a new adventure, on the tracks of the mysterious Moriarty, the arch-enemy of Holmes, across a Europe that is getting ready for war.
Review: I was not very excited by watching this sequel to the 2009 hit. Even forgetting the fact that we are very far from the original story from the book, I didn't manage to feel involved in the story. Robert Downey Jr. plays as usual, speaks a lot between 2 kung-fu scenes, and in the end fails to portrait the incredible capabilities of his character to make deductions from observations.The movie gets a bit better towards the end when we finally see the big picture, and Moriarty is revealed in all his evilness.
Rating: 4 /10
