Sherlock Holmes - A Game of Shadows

It was interesting seeing this movie, but it's god-awful boring. There's a cinematic style issue where they dissect every action scene in slow-motion with every option played out as a voice drones. Then the action occurs, and it's not a surprise.

Basically, about 3/4 of the way through the film, I turned to Norm and said, "I wish Moriarty would just kill him so we could go home."

There was a plot. Holmes must have done some deduction during the film but I swear I don't remember any. It might have been the fact that Holmes was juiced up on coffee and coca leaves. The dog in the film had more personality. I felt sorry for Dr. Watson who was tagging along for the ride.

I mean, if you're going to see a movie about one of the most brilliant deductive reasoners in literary history, you expect a movie that should challenge your mental status more than a 5-year-old's. Not spoon-fed pap.

But the explosions were fun.
