I'm not sure how many people liked the first Sherlock Holmes movie with Robert Downy Jr. as Holmes, but I found it rather entertaining. I'm a fan of RDJ as an actor and find him to be pretty hilarious when he does a bit of a comedic role even though he is also a great dramatic actor as well. Amazing considering how much trouble he has gotten himself into over the years.
So...I was glad to hear that Sherlock Holmes 2 was being made since Holmes is clearly one of the best book series of all-time from a crime standpoint. May be quite ridiculous at times, but still very enjoyable to me overall. Even millermatic I might say.
"Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows" claims the top spot in North American box office this week. On its first weekend, the Robert Downey Jr.-starring action comedy rakes in about $40 million. The result, however, is rather disappointing since the film is expected to gross at least $50 million in its opening week, judging that its first installment "Sherlock Holmes" opened with a massive $62.3 million in 2009.
