Europe - 1891, France and Germany are at war.
We are brought into this story by a recollected series of prior events encompassed with incredibly stupefied mystery and action.
Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) is up to
yet another sleuth, and once again, he enlists the assistance of his
dear friend Dr. John Watson (Jude Law) as together they attempt to
disarm a new deadly plot of doom.
Sherlock is about to be reminded of Watson’s
approaching wedding to Mary Morstan (Kelly Reilly) however, Watson is
about to be informed of Sherlock’s theory about Professor James Moriarty
(Jared Harris).
Moriarty owns various supply facilities and
plans to get rich by using bombs and other means to threaten European
Officials in an attempt to create a world war.
Sherlock also enlists the assistance of his
brother Mycroft Holmes (Stephen Fry), to protect and keep Watson’s new
bride safe. And the help of Madam Heron (Noomi Rapace), the gypsy
fortune teller who’s brother has also become another of Moriarty’s
victims.
The story seems to quickly unravel from one
scene to the next, I personally found it rather hard to keep up until
closer toward the end as all the clues started to unclutter. But by
then, Sherlock and Moriarty were dangling from a Swiss balcony and about
to fall to their deaths.
This movie was a bit too far fetched for me.
Although I believe anyone following Sherlock Holmes mysteries will find
it very entertaining.
