The new Sherlock Holmes movie. A Game of Shadows or something.
I really enjoyed it. Everything was really well done. It was very fast-paced, but on reflection there were alarmingly few action sequences. The conversation was easy to absorb, but still entertaining and amusing. The film flew by really quickly and there were no moments where I felt it dragged.
The action sequences were really tastefully done. Holmes' planning is a really nice touch. The big chase scene at Dr. Watson's stag party was absolutely ridiculous and very fun. There was a very well done scene which comprises of the main characters running away from the baddies shooting at them. Time slows down as bullets hit nearby trees, then speeds up again only to jump to another dramatic moment. I felt that this scene was exactly the right length - any longer and it would have been tacky and overdone.
It was a really enjoyable movie. It wasn't without a few flaws, but I recommend this glowingly. It's easily the best movie I've seen all year.
