As typical of most sequels, it didn't come close to the original movie on any level. It did have a few funny moments and served it's purpose of giving me some entertainment for the afternoon. I can say I'm not sorry I went to see it but would tell most people to wait for the DVD if they had even a doubt about spending their hard earned money on a ticket.
Found the movie to be quite enjoyable, an interesting and engaging take on the sherlock holmes character and story line. Well cast, well acted, with a good story line, great effects, and enough action and humor sprinkled in to keep my whole family entertained. Looking forward to the sure to come sequel!
