Sherlock Holmes has always been the smartest man in the room, until now. There is a new criminal mastermind at large, Professor James Moriarty, and not only is he Holmes's intellectual equal, but his capacity for evil, coupled with a complete lack of conscience, may give him an advantage over the renowned detective. Holmes's investigation into Moriarty's plot becomes more dangerous as it leads him and Watson out of London to France, Germany, and finally Switzerland.

I loved it! submitted by glennauerbach on June 17, 2012, 3:30pm I loved this movie. It was amazing, but very confusing.

mind puzzling submitted by ftan on July 16, 2012, 3:14pm i love how in this movie, they add a filter to the scene to show that it is in the character's imagination. It took me a moment to figure out the ending, which i will not spoil for those reading this. i was sad when a certain female died. throughout the movie, i waited for her to come back and it be a fluke that she was poisoned. i highly recommend this movie.

Entertaining submitted by kimberlina on August 27, 2012, 1:12pm This is an entertaining and action packed movie. Wonderful stills showing how the characters might act or think. Graphic violence.

A good time! submitted by GJBarnett2 on August 31, 2012, 10:26am The second in the current series. Up to the standard set by the first. Hope the third's as good.

Great Movie submitted by ashishvenu on June 30, 2013, 6:09pm Lots of action and suspense

Not as great submitted by crazypockets on July 13, 2013, 12:33pm I didn't like this one as much as the first one. I think the switch of directors was the reason. It was overly complicated and frankly kind of boring compared to the other.

Game of Shadows submitted by SBNB on June 26, 2014, 12:58pm I didn't like this one very much.

Robert Downey Jr dons yellowface disguise submitted by willow on August 15, 2015, 9:32pm Robert Downey, Jr. plays Sherlock Holmes, and at one point in the movie dresses in a yellowface disguise as a Chinese man, with wispy beard and long hair.

Very well done submitted by ishhewitt on July 10, 2016, 2:22pm I didn't like this one as much as the first one, but Robert Downey in a dress? Who can say no to that? (Hint: No one.)

Struggles to outperform original submitted by toschag on August 3, 2016, 12:45pm This was a good movie on it's own, but a lot of the movie felt like it was riding the coat tails of the first Sherlock Holmes. Slow-mo sequences, long logical explanations, convoluted plots, etc... It was entertaining but struggled to distinguish itself from the first one.

Slow submitted by yenkong on July 14, 2017, 8:24pm OK.. the pace is slow but the plot is interesting.

Love the movie submitted by tiffany wu on August 27, 2018, 2:14pm It has an interesting point to the movie and the plot.

Sherlock Holmes : a Game of Shadows submitted by Varshini on July 3, 2019, 7:51pm The plot is interesting, but the movie drags on for way too long.
