It’s not how rotten we are, it’s just that they are too passionate

This sequel has been greatly improved compared to the upper part, and the scene is more majestic. Bullets and blasting have become a visual enjoyment in slow motion. It is even doubtful whether the director is teaching everyone the principle of bullets and cannonballs. The opponent that Holmes faced this time was extremely powerful, and it was more interesting to wait for the IQ level to compete. Hans Zimmer's soundtrack and the fighting with the sound of the violin are impressive, and Holmes' slow-motion predicted attack is also retained, but this time the prediction will be a bit biased. Sherlock Holmes on the screen has formed an atmospheric style composed of blasting scenes, historical street scenes, and Robert Downey Jr. In addition to Sherlock Holmes's amazing advance arrangement, the "Fuhuaji sentiment" of Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law is a factor that cannot be ignored. Not only did the film producer fail to constrain because of the criticisms similar to "Moss selling corruption, Watson's love" appeared at the top, but instead it became more vigorous and emphasized this tone. Holmes watched the loneliness and sadness of the newlyweds at Watson's wedding and the tearing of the two after Watson's wife dressed up as an aunt on the train. These scenes cannot be ignored. It's not how rotten we are, it's just that they are too passionate. Judging from the taste of the audience now, this kind of "base relationship partnership" is a development trend of the male-male relationship on the screen. The audience who has withstood the test of various heavy tastes has changed from the initial dizziness to the slow enjoyment. They seem to be more willing to see not only wonderful fights and slow-motion blasting in such themes of reasoning and investigation, but also this hidden ambiguous relationship that can cause goose bumps to power the theater to enjoy the dinner and talk after the visual enjoyment.
