This sequel to first Guy Ritchie Sherlock Holmes is on par with the original. Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law are back and are both still excellent in their roles of Holmes and Watson. This time they must take down Professor James Moriarty and his scheme to start a world war and profit from it. The story is excellent and has a great pace to it. I really enjoy this take on the Sherlock Holmes and Watson characters. I have read all the Holmes novels and have seen many other movies and television shows featuring Holmes and Watson and must say Robert Downey Jr. is one of the best to portray Holmes. Downey's version of Holmes is only second to the late great actor Jeremy Brett. Jude Law though is my all time favorite portray of Watson. Director Guy Ritchie brings his unique style to the Holmes Victorian world. He also brings the audience explosions, slowed down fight sequences that are fun to watch and a story that keep the audience engaged through out the film. I really enjoyed this sequel. If you enjoyed the original then you have to check this out. Well worth a watch.

This movie is set back in 1975 Brooklyn, NY. We the audience follow two teenage brothers who live with a drunk abusive father and their caring mother. Of course they are a poor family and have struggles to make the bills. The older brother Danny is in to crime and is the regular one to get beat by his father. While the younger brother Brian is trying to find his place in the world and decide if he will leave Brooklyn and his family to study as a artist . The story also has some others parts to it that fill in the rest. The story is quite well done and makes for a interesting drama. The biggest names in this film is Karen Allen and Stephen Lang. But they are not the main focus of the film. That goes to the young actors Nick Thurston, Geoffrey Wigdor and Leslie Murphy. All the young actors are excellent in this. The story and main characters are very interesting. I also liked the way the movie was filmed. Had a great look to it. If your looking for a decent drama then check this out. Well worth a watch.
