It's Sherlock Holmes versus the villainous Professor Moriarty in 'Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows'. The bad Professor is doing something nasty in Europe in 1891 stirring up political turmoil whilst attempting to draw his nemesis Holmes into his trap.
This is a typical Guy Ritchie film. Elegance mixes with grubbiness, stop frame and slow motion scenes abound with a thumping musical score in the background. The pithy bon mots are delivered by Robert Downey Jr (Holmes, complete with bruises and abrasions) and Jude Law (a limping Dr Watson).
It's all a little drawn out and I wasn't always sure what was happening yet the film remains quite entertaining.
