| Back again, Sherlock and Watson find themselves on the brink of global catastrophe. |
There is always that incredible sense of satisfaction when a re-imagination of a classic just doesn’t break out from the pack, but more importantly deserves to. Back in 2009, Guy Ritchie did exactly that in tackling Sherlock Holmes, which has been interpreted more times than one can count, and the start of new adventures for the legendary detective and his dear, dear Watson.
Elementary you might say, but without the chemistry of Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law with Ritchie helming this project, Sherlock could have easily been a thrown together cash-in on the century-plus-old brand name. Far from it. Fast forward two years later; Ritchie, Downey Jr. and Law team up once more for the anticipated sequel, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. In this sequel, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson find themselves in the midst of the plot of a mastermind, which could ignite a world war.
