Good: Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law are amazing (as usual) 

All the special effects

Moriarty vs Holmes [that climax was spectacular]

The factory escape scene. That was just great.

The message: war, arms building, the war industry etc. There’s a message there if you care to read into it. There will always be profit in war; it’s in the best economic interest of the great powers to have war continue… Chew on that for a bit, eh?

The Hmm… : I would’ve been happy with the climax as the ending and if you’ve seen it, you know what I mean. 

The Ugly: Noomi Rapace was a bit wasted here. She plays into the plot well, but her talents and unique characteristics seemed a little underplayed. I suppose it’s because only a few truly know and appreciate her from watching The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo but she probably could have been given a bit more. 

ALL IN ALL: Entertaining and definitely worth your money. A-
