Sherlock Homes 2

It's 2 o'clock, Christmas eve and I'm killing time before a 2.30 showing of Hugo (2D version - review to follow later)
What can I say about Sherlock Homes: Game of shadows? Well, excellent! I can't remember a film I've enjoyed that much for a long time..
Ok, let's get the gripes out of the way first. And there's only one really. This has been done before... The first Sherlock Homes to be precise. But it worked then and it works here too. There's a particular action scene with them running for a train that is really well choreographed, incorporating Guy Richies inimitable slo-mo style! The banter between Robert Downey and Jude Law is funny, and some of Sherlocks quotes appealed to my sense of humour..
Overall an excellent film **** 1/2
(I'll try and catch this one again before we head back to Hereford)
