Reviews

Tampa Bay Times - Steve Persall
Ritchie stages plenty of gunfights and beatdowns to satisfy action fans, pausing to consider the beauty of violence before resuming speed and piling on more.

Empire - Ian Nathan
A sequel confident in what it's about - bigger, better, funnier, without stretching the joke.
75
ReelViews - James Berardinelli
A Game of Shadows is a stronger, better realized movie that builds upon the strengths of the original and jettisons some of the weaknesses.
70
Variety - Brian Lowry
While director Guy Ritchie's excesses and modern concessions -- among them a lot of explosions -- remain intact, the parts of this second "Sherlock Holmes" are considerably more rewarding.
60
The Hollywood Reporter - Todd McCarthy
After quite a few tedious detours and distractions, when the film finally gets down to the business of a climax at a gathering of elite European diplomats in a precariously perched Swiss mountain castle, it becomes not half-bad.
