The first Sherlock Holmes wasn't too bad: dark, intriguing, though it drifted at times. This sequel is not intriguing at all. Rather than being a detective-drama, this is an action-drama, and a pretty stock-standard, mindless, predictable one at that.

Add to that the fact that the characters are now very prissy and Victorian Englishy - the original wasn't that irritating was it?

Not worth seeing at all.
