Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

[SPJ]

1. saw the second movie last saturday.

it was too fast in plots replay

over all a good movie.

2. I was more interested in the bomb blast to cover the sniper fire.

artillery from watson against sniper gun on the watch tower or light tower.

indeed not fair

3. SH camoflage as sofa was hilarious

4. the train splitted in half from the blast.

my point is that fighting against boxing from professor was a very small part in the movie.

5. like the umbrella as a staff against knife from the assasin

6. chargin that the girl friend died of instant TB

He did tan da while fighting for money in the first movie.

Looked just like clipped together stills to me Ron, done slow and played fast. Where you some up with that idea??

You dont have to have skills to do movie fu. It's all done slow and then sped up in editing. Or in the case of the Sherlock Holmes movies it is slowed down. Do you think everyone in lord of the rings has skill wielding swords? No. It's acting.

as someone who has worked in the movie industry for about 10 years, has done stunt work, directing editing etc...im gonna tell you right now that you are wrong....so wrong it hurts...first movements are not done slow and then sped up, they are done at normal speed so the camera can catch the movements properly. second bob anderson who was the fight choreagrapher trained the actors for nearly a year before going into production. not to mention all the stunt doubles involved...its not acting its actuality. the acting part is the reactions to getting hit etc. you need skill and talent to pull it off...and i dont mean being a great martial arts guy, because thats not always the case.

Anybody seen the two Sherlock Holmes movies with Robert Downey Jr?

I liked the fight choreography, thought it was an interesting and fresh approach.

Any word on Robert Downey Jr. having in real skills?

he's trained wing chun for some years now.
