I am going to see this tonight and I am really looking forward to it. I enjoyed the first and hope this is not a let down.

edit... bollocks!

I want to go and see this too.

Maybe I'll go by myself next week while Joans is at football.

We need a cinema between you and me that does Orange Wednesdays.

I really enjoyed it..

On par with ore even better than the first but won't say any more until more have watched...

But easily 8/10.

I know someone in this. Plays one of two Henchmen, iirc, first speaking role as he's usually a stuntman.

This is a marvellously entertaining film. RDJ is, of course, superb.

I have seen this.

Dawsons Creek had better banter.

"Bite me, Pacey" was an amazing line.

I'm taking the children to see this on Tuesday, we enjoyed the first and I expect this one will be a perfectly reasonable way to spend a couple of hours.

I didn't like this quite as much as the first one, and it seemed to go on for a bit too long. Still pretty good though, and these are just about the only films where I can stand Jude Law.

While highly enjoyable, I would agree that the first was better.

There seemed to be a lot more sleuthing of the bad guy's fiendish machinations in the first one. In this one they basically followed Moriarty around everywhere and, as a result, foiled his plans.

These and Love, Honour, and Obey, of course. Which is one of the greatest films ever.

Guy Ritchie, innit? Speed up! Slow down! Spin around! Chess games! Jump cuts! Contrived plots explained in flashbacks! Raucous games of cards where someone is shown raking a big pile of money towards them!

Heard Guy Ritchie interviewed on radio1 tonight, of Game Of Shadows he said he spent a "bit of time on it" then proceeded to waffle about Lock-Stock for the rest of the interview. still, for some reason that made me want to see it...

Went to see this last night, bloody awful film in my opinion, can't remember the last film i managed to fall asleep twice in. The dialogue was bland and flat, the film seemed to drag on far too long with no real 'Holmes' moments

I was actually thrilled when i noticed the big old waterfall, as i knew that the end was in sight, just a shame that they have had Holmes survive it.

On the other hand Mrs SG thought it was a right rollicking romp and enjoyed it thoroughly, i worry about that girl at time.
