This sounds promising, especially after many were disappointed with the previou instalment. And hopefully we can get a taste of what to expect from the film soon.

I’m extremely excited to say that Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is every bit as good as the first Holmes film. This time Holmes and Watson test the limits of their friendship, while following the clues left by Moriarty, who is doing his best to thrust Europe into war. Moriarty is the villain I’ve been waiting for. He is the perfect adversary for Holmes. Matching his wit, and finally giving Holmes a challenge fitting of his intellect. In general this film takes everything from the first film and ups the adrenaline factor. Guy Ritchie has really out done himself with this one.

It goes without saying that Robert Downey Jr. is fantastic in his portrayal of Sherlock Holmes, but the rest of the cast is pretty amazing as well. For my money the standout performance of the movie goes to Jared Harris for his wickedly awesome Professor James Moriarty. He brought a charm to the role that has me hoping to see him in future sequels, providing it performs at the box office. Stephen Fry is another stellar actor that rocked the screen as Sherlock’s eccentric brother, Mycroft, who enjoys prancing around his house in the nude. Of course Jude Law made Watson cool, and the supporting cast was fantastic. However, the one performance that felt a little flat for me was that of Noomi Rapace as Madam Simza Heron. She’s sexy, and obviously does an adequate job, but compared to Rachel McAdams’ Irene Adler she’s as lackluster as pancakes without syrup.

I can’t wait to revisit this film on Blu-ray so I can obsess over every minute detail. I know this hyper active super Holmes isn’t for everyone, but I am totally enthralled by what Guy Ritchie and his team have accomplished with this franchise. Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is absolutely a killer film.

Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars

Well, that seems to be an excellent story for Hollywood as Heat Vision is reporting that Robert Downey, Jr. and Warner Bros. are in the midst of developing a film based upon the disaster. However, the film will be taking a different approach to the story, and follow “Hunter Scott, the 11-year old boy who embarked on a journey to exonerate the Indianapolis’ court-Martialed captain.” Robert Schenkkan is writing the script.

One thing that many are probably wondering is what direction director Shane Black will be taking the film now that he’s replaced Jon Favreau. “We’re still in the early phases. Shane & Drew Pearce (second screenwriter) are working through the story outline & hopefully, at some point in August, Shane is going to start hammering keys & writing the script, but he has such a unique viewpoint on Tony Stark & I think his corky sensibility is going to be great for the series. It’s going to feel, like a reinvention of what it can be as opposed to continuing the saga,” he said. It’s also been said before the film won’t have as many references to The Avengers as Iron Man 2, but Downey never commented on that issue.

But what’s the one thing fans are interested in most when it concerns comic book movies? That’s right, the villains. While Downey couldn’t reveal the identity of the villains, but does guarantee fans will be happy with the choices. “I can’t talk about the villains right now, but what I can say is though that there’s been lot of analysis of looking through all of the villains that have been in the Iron Man world. All I say is, that I think the person or persons, that we’ve decided to play with are going to be pretty exciting for the audience,” he said. The Mandarin was the most popular choice by fans and Jon Favreau, but it’s unknown if Black will still want to go that route in the sequel. One thing he did mention in the past was that we won’t be seeing “two men in iron suits fighting each other”.

It has been teased and teased but now it is finally here, the official trailer for Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows has hit. We’ve got an embed for you below, and Apple Trailers have the HD version available as well.

The film will be released on the 16th of December and it stars Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, Noomi Rapace, Jared Harris, Eddie Marsan, Stephen Fry and Gilles Lellouche.

Sherlock Holmes has always been the smartest man in the room…until now. There is a new criminal mastermind at large–Professor Moriarty (Jared Harris)–and not only is he Holmes’ intellectual equal, but his capacity for evil, coupled with a complete lack of conscience, may actually give him an advantage over the renowned detective.

While not in-depth, I take what he says with a great deal of faith and it’s exciting hearing how pleased he is with Joss Whedon and the film. Marvel’s The Avengers assemble May 4th, 2012.

“Continuing the epic big-screen adventures started in “Iron Man,” “The Incredible Hulk,” “Iron Man 2,” “Thor,” and “Captain America: The First Avenger,” “Marvel’s The Avengers” is the super hero team up of a lifetime. When an unexpected enemy emerges that threatens global safety and security, Nick Fury, director of the international peacekeeping agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., finds himself in need of a team to pull the world back from the brink of disaster.”

Nothing much, and will probably be the closest we’ll see our heroes on screen together for a while.
