10. Sherlock Holmes 2: A Game of Shadows (2011)- Guy Ritchie

Sherlock Holmes 2: A Game of Shadows Trailer

Robert Downey Jr. was born to play Sherlock Holmes. He's very witty (with his dry humor about his ridiculous disguises), clearly very smart, and pulls off a trench coat like you wouldn't believe! And Jude Law- seriously with that guy? He is so handsome, even with a mustache (the British accent certainly doesn't hurt there), and watching him see someone get shot and tell everyone to clear out because he's a doctor made me kind of believe that if I got shot, I'd let Jude Law take care of it...The only thing that bothered me about this movie is that it was actually a lot more violent than I'd expected. I feel like I pictured Sherlock Holmes to be more discreet or something in my mind, just not as violent. I did appreciate, however,  the slow motion hand to hand combat, which added a kung fu like aspect to the fighting. I'm glad I saw it, just because I love RDJ and Jude Law, but I don't know that I'd see it again. The story line was kind of slow and confusing even up until the last few minutes and left several questions unanswered. I guess I'll just have to find out the answers in the next movie. Oh, the beauty of a franchise.
