Because I liked the first Sherlock Holmes movie quite much, I decided to give this sequel a chance. And I didn't regret it: it is funny and offers a lot of action. Also ,Downey Jr. as the brilliant but bat-ass crazy Holmes works well again.
However, the fresh style (e.g. those signature glimpses into the immediate future by Holmes, who can predict what his opponents are going to do before they are actually doing it) that accompanied the first movie, is nothing new this turn around. Also I didn't like the plot too much. I cannot put the finger down on why that is exactly, but I never felt 100% intrigued by it.
So all this leaves an enjoyable 2 hours watch but nothing more IMHO.
