Sherlock Holmes: a Game of Shadows
Dec. 17th, 2011 12:39 pmThe new RDJ Sherlock Holmes movie actually kind of sneaked up on me - I didn't realize it was coming out until we started making plans to go see it. I blame my lack of cable.
Overall I liked it better than the first one, thanks primarily to the plot not being the same kind of glorified Scooby Doo hoax, so yay for that. I'm still not quite 100% sold on RDJ's Holmes - Jeremy Brett, still my favorite, although I give RDJ full credit for playing Holmes just as generally obnoxious as he ought to be - but Jude Law as Watson remains one of my favorite things ever and he gets to be pretty awesome in this movie.
( Some thoughts. )
In other news, the trailers, and my thought processes.
Jack the Giant Killer: Hmm, interesting.
This Means War: Chris Pine and Tom Hardy as CIA agents? Woo! - except that the whole plot appears to be about them competing for a woman who's two-timing the both of them. Fail.
Battleship: I remain convinced that this whole thing is some kind of extremely elaborate and expensive joke. Seriously, it's Battleship: The Movie. It's taking itself way too seriously not to be a stealth parody.
The Hunger Games: Guess I should get around to reading those books, huh.
