starlady: holmes holds his spyglass against watson's chest (intimacy)
Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. Dir. Guy Ritchie, 2011.

I really liked this movie! I did not think it was WTFBBQ, nor did I think the plot was full of holes. It was less of a mystery, assuredly, but it was awesome all the same, with one prominent caveat. I was not expecting anything other than what I got, I guess, and I was very satisfied.

It seems emblematic, actually, that Ritchie's Mycroft is so much less sedentary than Doyle's, and that the movie overtly confirms that he's affiliated with Her Majesty's Secret Service. Everyone (including Mary, OMG!) is so much more rock and roll in these movies, and I love it to pieces.
