The flood of special effects is the fatal injury of this film. The audience who walked into the theater probably had no reason to say no to the special effects. However, when the big scenes of a film are almost all crawled slowly in the "bullet time", not only the audience is bored, but the plot is promoted and promoted. The portrayal of the characters is also greatly affected.
The battle between Holmes and Professor Moriarty is probably one of the most fascinating stories in the original novel. The film also took a lot of pains to show the wits and courage of these two "magical calculations", but except for Moriarty This section of the professor's notebook is a little interesting. Other "witness fights" seem to be neither persuasive nor fascinating, and the tension in some key scenes is also destroyed by the abuse of special effects and excessive gimmicks.
If you watch a Hollywood action blockbuster, this is a mediocre work without success; if you are coming for Sherlock Holmes, "Detective Sherlock Holmes 2: A Game of Shadows" may disappoint you.
