marcicat | movie review: Sherlock Holmes 2 (Game of Shadows)

1. Jude Law: snappy dresser. Seriously, how did he manage to look good in *everything* they put on him? RDJ mostly looked like a bum, no matter what he was wearing. Even when he was dressed up! (No offense to Robert Downey Jr; bum is a good look for him.)

2. So they cut out the bit on the train, from the first preview I saw — the one that mirrored the first movie, with the whole, “Get that thing out of my face,” etc, etc. I’m torn between not really caring in this particular situation that the part was cut, and being really irritated in general that movies do that — show things in the previews which then don’t actually happen in the movie. Feels like false advertising (and, in fact, it is!).

3. Overall, it was about what I expected. Still would rather have been watching the Avengers, but it was an enjoyable afternoon outing.
