a5c7b9f00b Sherlock Holmes is investigating terrorist attacks in London alone since his old partner Dr. John Watson will get married a few days later with Mary. His investigations point to Professor James Moriartythe person responsible for the explosions. When Dr. Watson and Mary are attacked in the train while traveling for their honeymoon in Brighton, Holmes delivers Mary to the protection of his brother Mycroft. Soon Holmes and Dr. Watson disclose that Professor Moriarty has bought arms and ammunition factories and is trying to start a war in Europe killing political leaders and politicians. Now Sherlock and Watson have to stop Moriarty and his dangerous associate, the skilled former Colonel Sebastian Moran to avoid the imminent war. Sherlock Holmes (<a href=">Robert Downey Jr.) and his longtime trusted associate, Doctor Watson (<a href=">Jude Law), take on their arch-nemesis, Professor Moriarty (<a href=">Jared Harris), with the help of Holmes&#39; older brother Mycroft Holmes (<a href=">Stephen Fry) and a gypsy named Simza (<a href=">Noomi Rapace). Sherlock Holmes A Game Of Shadows was a great sequel that had great slow motion scenes and awesome fight scenes.<br/><br/>Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson did a very good job of saving the world from an evil professor named James Moriarty. Stephen Fry who played &quot;Mycroft Holmes&quot; Sherlock&#39;s brother was funny character that talks very English and he was strange sometimes. I thought that Noomi Repace who played &quot;Madam Simza heron&quot; did great job playing that character. And Jared Harris who played &quot;Professor James Moriarty&quot; was justsmartSherlock Holmes. And I thought the last fight scene in this movie was interesting. Sherlock and Moriaty could think different attacks on each other, that scene was intense.<br/><br/>The train scene was awesome,Sherlock disguiseda girl was funny. Also, the running scene in the forest was great.<br/><br/>This movie was very thrilling! I couldn&#39;t wait for the weekend to begin because I knew I was going to hit up a popcorn, blockbuster double-header in the theater, Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows and Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, a back- to-back pairing almost unmatched this year. Two incredibly big budget franchises with two incredibly charismatic leading men. These are the box office battles I just live for. Since the weekend numbers have already come in, we&#39;ve seen Sherlock Holmes dominate the weekend ($40 million vs. $13 million for Mission Impossible), so the honor of first review goes to them.<br/><br/>Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows picks up fairly close to where the last one left off. Watson is getting married and Holmes is closing in on his arch-enemy, Professor Moriarty. The two masterminds face off against each other in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse which threatens not only the life of our quixotic hero, but his best friend and possibly the entire world beyond.<br/><br/>It&#39;s likely been said before, andmuchI hate repetition I&#39;ll forego it this one time, Robert Downey Jr. was born for this role. Obviously the historical version of Holmes was tweaked and crafted around Downey&#39;s skills and persona, but the magical merge between the real person and the literary classic created something perfect which will be cherished by viewers for generations to come. All future attempts at playing Holmes, which I am sure there will be someday, will be weighed against Downey, a bar now set incredibly high. His charm, wit and energy flow through the scenes effortlessly, keeping the audience in tow no matter what is going on. He also lets his co-stars, like Jude Law (as Dr. Watson) and Jared Harris (as Prof. Moriarty) own the moment equally, not overshadowing their own crisp deliveries and subtle mannerisms. From back-to-front, the performances throughout were playful, charming and more than enough to please any afternoon crowd.<br/><br/>So if everyone was so great in it, why is the rating so low? That is a fantastic question.<br/><br/>The downfall here is the script. If you are going to create a story for the world&#39;s most renowned investigator, you need to plunge the imagination of the audience into a world of multiple story lines, interconnecting webs of deceit and subterfuge, something only Holmes could solve. The first film had this, but Game of Shadows rolls out a plot all too plain for such a complicated enemy like Moriarty. There seemed to be an effort to cover that up by actually showing a room full of interconnecting threads built by Holmes, to demonstrate how complicated this all really was, but that felt a cheap way out for writing a more complex story. Moriarty is the epitome of villains, the mental match for Sherlock Holmes, and in the end he just turns out to be greedy, a motive far below the weight of his character.<br/><br/>Guy Ritchie, the returning director, held up his side of the bargain, but didn&#39;t push anything forward in terms of the style and execution. We got more slam-to-slow-motion shots and a couple good moments of Holmes playing out the oncoming violence in his head in order to predict the exact counter maneuvers. I will give both Ritchie and the screenwriters credit through for the final scene between Holmes and Moriarty, which I won&#39;t go into detail about, but it was a nice twist on a familiar theme in this franchise. Ultimately, the best relationship in the movie remains that of Holmes and Watson, which is to say, Downey and Law. Their pairing is what makes the movie; the explosions and bells and whistles Ritchie employs are mere distractions. While Dr John Watson (<a href="/name/nm0000179/">Jude Law</a>) makes plans for his upcoming wedding, eccentric detective Sherlock Holmes (<a href="/name/nm0000375/">Robert Downey Jr.</a>) has been keeping busy investigating a series of presumed terrorist attacks, bombings, and assassinations all over Europe. Holmes has somehow connected these to his nemesis, Professor James Moriarity (<a href="/name/nm0364813/">Jared Harris</a>), who warns him to cease with his investigations or he will consider the newlyweds fair game. Consequently, Holmes arranges to be on the same train to Brighton on which Watson and his bride Mary (<a href="/name/nm0717709/">Kelly Reilly</a>) are honeymooning. True to his word, Moriarity launches an attack on the lovebirds, and Holmes is forced to toss Mary from the train to the protection of his older brother Mycroft (<a href="/name/nm0000410/">Stephen Fry</a>). Holmes and Watson then go to Paris to find Madame Simka Heron (<a href="/name/nm0636426/">Noomi Rapace</a>), a gypsy whose brother Rene may be involved in helping Moriarty to instigate a world war. And so the game begins. Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is a standalone sequel to <a href="/title/tt0988045/">Sherlock Holmes (2009)</a> (2009). The character of Sherlock Holmes was created in 1887 by Scottish writer/physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) in the novel A Study in Scarlet and went on to appear in three more novels and 56 short stories. However, A Game of Shadows is not based on any of Doyle&#39;s books/stories but on a screenplay by American screenwriters Kieran and Michele Mulroney. <a href="/title/tt2094116/">Sherlock Holmes 3 (2020)</a> has been announced but no release date has been set. Professor James Moriarty is a criminal mastermind, described by Holmesthe &quot;Napoleon of Crime&quot;. Doyle lifted the phrase from a real Scotland Yard inspector who was referring to Adam Worth (1844-1902), a thief whose criminal career spanned over two decades. Other real world models for Moriarty were Basil Zaharoff (1849-1936), a Greek arms dealer whose unscrupulous business practices earned him the nickname &quot;the Merchant of Death&quot;, and Simon Newcomb (1835-1909) a renowned mathemetician who tried to ruin the reputations of rival scientists. By combining Worth&#39;s criminal savvy, Newcomb&#39;s mathematical genius, and Zaharoff&#39;s Machiavellian ruthlessness, Doyle created what is widely considered to be the first true example of a supervillain. Because he is depictedHolmes&#39; greatest enemy, Moriarty is considered to be the primary antagonist of the entire series, despite only making one physical appearance, in the story &quot;The Final Problem&quot; (he is mentioned reminiscently in five other stories set after the events of &quot;The Final Problem&quot;, and operates behind-the-scenes in &quot;The Valley of Fear&quot; which was published after &quot;The Final Problem&quot; but set before it). Other writers used him more frequently, cementing his reputationHolmes&#39; archenemy. The film&#39;s depiction of Moriarty physically resembles Worth, but overall bears the strongest similarities to Zaharoff,he is attempting to provoke a war using advanced weaponry that he has developed. Zaharoff was privy to the latest developments in weapon technology (including the Maxim Gun which provided the real world inspiration for the film&#39;s &quot;Little Hansel&quot;), and during the Second Boer War, the Russo-Japanese War, and the Great War, he sold weapons to both sides in order to exacerbate the conflict and maximize profits. Mycroft Holmes is Sherlock Holmes&#39; elder brother (by seven years). Possessing deductive powers exceeding even those of his younger brother, Mycroft is nonetheless incapable of performing detective work similar to that of Sherlock since he is unwilling to put in the physical effort necessary to bring cases to their conclusions. Nonetheless, if given all the facts and by the use of his superior deductive powers, he is able deduce the solution to any problem or case from the comfort of an armchair. This has led the British and other European governmentswellroyalty to frequently consult Mycroft&#39;s analytical mind on a number of key political decisions and strategies. After the soldiers fire &quot;Little Hansel&quot; (an artillery cannon that apparently fires individual shots that can rip apart trees), Holmes, Watson, and Simza are knocked to the ground by the shock wave of the blast. Holmes and Watson get up seeing the soldiers approaching. Though a little confusing or even jarring because the fight happens in a matter of seconds, what is seen plays outfollows. (1) Watson grabs one soldier&#39;s rifle and twists it, throwing its owner over. (2) Holmes trades punches with another soldier using his good hand. (3) Simza knocks aside another soldier. (4) a fourth soldier swings his rifle at Holmes, who kicks him in the chest. (5) A soldier brains Simza with the butt of his rifle, knocking her down, andhe aims his rifle, Watson shoots and kills him with a pistol. (6) Holmes knocks out another soldieranother cannonball hits nearby, forcing him to grab onto a nearby tree. (7) Another soldier advances on Holmes, who successfully dodges a shot fired at point-blank range (missing and hitting the tree instead). Holmes grabs the soldier&#39;s rifle, ejects the round, and knocks him out; then chambers a new round in a matter of seconds, passes the rifle to Watson, who shoots and wounds MoranMoran crests a rise. (8) As the party escapes on the train, Moran comes to his senses, steadies his breathing, aims his rifle, and picks off the unlucky gypsy bringing up the back of the escapees. Watson walks out on the terrace just in time to see both Holmes and Moriarity go over the railing together and tumble into the icy waters of Reichenbach Falls. Following Holmes&#39; funeral, John and Mary prepare to leave on their belated honeymoon, and Watson finishes writing the story of his last case with Holmes. He types, &quot;The End&quot;, justMary brings in a parcel delivered in the post. Opening it, Watson finds Mycroft&#39;s breathing apparatus and begins to question its meaning. In the final scene,John runs after Mary to find the delivery man, Holmes reveals himselfcleverly concealed on a lounge chair. He sits at Watson&#39;s typewriter and adds a question mark after &quot;The End&quot;. Early in the film, Mycroft mentions, in a quiet tone, something along the lines of &quot;hoping this business gets done before the peace summit up in Reichenbach,&quot; more than likely soto be subtle enough that people familiar with Sherlock Holmes&#39; novels would catch it. When Conan Doyle grew tired of writing about Sherlock, he had him fall, with Professor Moriarty, at Reichenbach. In this film, the party is going to Reichenbach, and the two fall once more. Public demand for more stories forced the good doctor to write (as Dr. Watson) again, explaining how Holmes had not died but returned to life. In &quot;The Adventure of the Empty House&quot;, the Conan Doyle story where Holmes returns &quot;from the dead&quot; (after three years away without telling Watson where he was), Holmes explains that he actually did not go over the falls with Moriarty—he pushed Moriarty over but did not fall himself. Instead, he clung to a ledge while someone (revealed to be Col. Sebastian Moran) heaved rocks at him, and then he escaped—whereupon he goes on his famous travels to Asia, France, etc. The movie alters this story,clearly both Holmes and Moriarty go off the balcony and fall down the frightening Reichenbach falls. 4 Continents, 24 Cities, 40,000 Miles full movie hd 1080pShoot 'Em Up full movie in hindi free download hd 720pThe Bounty Hunter tamil dubbed movie torrentCentral Intelligence movie in tamil dubbed downloadJohnny Depp John Fogerty malayalam full movie free downloadThe Tour movie hindi free downloadStreet Kings in hindi download free in torrentEpisode 1.7 torrentthe Mafia III full movie download in hindiMidnight Limited full movie online free
