Cape Argus / The Star Mark Jenkins Trades brains for brawn | 10 | |
Box Office James Rocchi Big and bold and brash and blunt, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is never more than a stunning, mis-made moneymaker that feels like a sketch of itself. | 8 | |
Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert Set aside your memories of the Conan Doyle stories, save them to savor on a night this winter and enjoy this movie as a high-caliber entertainment. | 18 | |
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. | 15 | |
ScreenIt C. Fuchs While it has its moments, overall I found myself bored more often than engaged with what was occurring. That's never a good thing, | 8 | |
