OK but in no way an improvement on the first one. Some ingenious interweaving of actual Conan Doyle details, but mostly a rather wearisome succession of slo-mo fights and chases and a reprise of the same relationships that provided the dramatic tension in the previous movie. The bloke who plays Moriarty is rather disappointing and not at all as sinister or scary as Mark Strong was in movie one. Gorgeous looking of course and some fabulous shots of re-created Victorian London, but on the whole a bit blah. Been there, seen that - gonna watch the TV Sherlock instead.
