Watson (Jude Law) and Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) are at it once more, and the game is afoot. Do not think of this as a sequel to the 2009 movie or relating to the books. It is more of a tongue-in-cheek Bond with lots of action. Moriarty (Jared Harris) is his megalomaniac self. We get to travel all over Europe in 1891 or a reasonable facsimile.
The year is 1891. France and Germany are at each other's throats. There is a series of bombings. Most people pin it on anarchists. But Holmes has a different theory; we know what that theory is. We get to go along as Holmes proves his theory. What about Dr. Watson? Well, it seems he's getting married. Will this throw a wrench into the works? And how could the new Mrs. Watson have felt that Sherlock's brother is fond of her?
One thing I appreciate in movies is placing the names of the actors/characters next to their picture so we are sure who they are.
