Now available for rental. I watched it last night with the GF. I enjoyed the first one as a fun romp. Eye candy. This one was less spectacular, but still fun. Downey had some great lines. Does he play Downey in every movie? I just saw avengers and he was the same minus the accent and period clothes. I really liked the slow mo fight at the beginning and the slow mo battle at the end. I thought the movie was weak on showcasing Sherlock's deductive abilities (that is his super-power), but maybe I'm jaded by the BBC's modern Sherlock take. I didn't think the Mad Man Brit guy as Moriarty worked all that well. He's such a wimp in mad men that he didn't come off as a menacing villain in this. Even so, I thought it was satisfying.
