Saw the new Downey film at a premiere last night. I think I liked it slightly better than the first one, which isn't saying a lot, mind you. It's a decent enough action film, but I'm in the "it's not MY Holmes" camp. The actor playing Moriarty was good. Stephen Fry is fabulous as always. Noomi Rapace is sort of wasted. Favourite moment... Watson's hangover. The two biggest deficits are the frequent use of Matrix-style slow-mo/fast-mo during fight scenes along with similar scenes trying to show Holmes' thought processes... they take me right out of the moment. And I just can't get behind the martial arts stuff. Bottom line is if you liked the first one, you'll like this, if not...
