A new criminal mastermind has arrived - Professor Moriarty - not only has the same intellect as
Sherlock Holmes, but a sinister crime that has no conscience, can increase from that infamous profit.
The Austrian crown prince's death was initially thought of as suicide. But Holmes estimates that the
Prince has been the victim of a murder - an assassination that is one small piece of a puzzle devised
by Professor Moriarty. A combination of work and fun, Holmes tracks all the leads to the men's club,
where he and his brother, Mycroft Holmes, among Dr. Watson. There Holmes meets Sim, a fortune
teller Gypsy who sees more than he says and without realizing it has become the next target of the
Prince's assassin.
 Dalang kriminal baru telah tiba -Professor Moriarty - tidak hanya memiliki intelektual yang
sama dengan Sherlock Holmes, namun kapasitasnya kejahatan dan tidak memiliki hati nurani, dapat
memberinya keuntungan lebih dari detektif terkenal tersebut. Kematian putra mahkota Austria
awalnya dianggap sebagai bunuh diri. Namun Holmes menduga bahwa Pangeran telah menjadi
korban pembunuhan - sebuah pembunuhan yang merupakan satu bagian kecil dari teka-teki yang
dirancang oleh Professor Moriarty. Gabungan antara pekerjaan dan kesenangan, Holmes melacak
semua petunjuk menuju ke klub pria, dimana ia dan kakaknya, Mycroft Holmes merayakan malam
bujang bagi Dr. Watson. Disana Holmes bertemu Sim, seorang peramal Gypsy yang melihat lebih
dari yang ia katakan dan tanpa ia sadari telah menjadi target pembunuh Pangeran yang berikutny

Evaluation
A bomb exploded in Stassbourg, England soon became headlines in several newspapers. Holmes
who disguised as a beggar was busy stalking Irene Adler his enemy which also his idol that brings an
important package. In the sequel of ‘Sherlock Holmes this time, Professor, James Moriarty to be the
most dangerous enemy. Moriarty is not the kind of people who are hesitant to remove the lives of
many people in order to achieve the goal. Explosions in Strassbourg in one of the result of Prof.
Moriarty’s creation.
Holmes is busy when his friend, Dr. Watson is getting married, because marriage would
automatically make Holmes lost his partner in investigating the case. A gypsy woman, Madam Sinza,
helped Holmes get the adventure this time. There was also the Holmes brother, Mycroft Holmes who
came to be an accomplice of the detective this time. Farce as those made by Holmes and several other
characters in the film guaranteed to invite slaughters.
Chess competition between Holmes and Prof. Moriarty became the ultimate point.They both
described the mind wanders respectively. This is the climax part and amazing part of this film,
because of the fight scene between Holmes and Moriarty.

Interpretation
Professor Moriarty: Are you sure you want to play this game?
Sherlock Holmes: I'm afraid you'd lose.
In Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, my mind turns two ways: The first half is guns,
gunpowder, and gymnastics. Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey, Jr.) and Dr. Watson (Jude Law)
contend with the salvation of civilization mostly through athletics, aided by director Guy Ritchie's
considerable skill with the camera and graphics.
But in the second half, when the duo moves swiftly but intellectually to confront the arch villain
Professor James Moriarty (Jared Harris), my mind is at equilibrium, renewing my love of Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle's original brainy, eccentric sleuth. The chess game is a marvel of strategy, replete with
revenge, intrigue, and just plain ingenuity. Director Guy Ritchie's visuals include delightful Downey
disguises and lively speed ramping in a forest bombarded by bullets. Hans Zimmer's music leans
heavily on the fiddle to lighten the load of a difficult plot.
Watson's marriage, rather than taking away from the bromance, adds unexpected color and
creativity. So Ritchie has ramped up the intellectual content and at least balanced it with the athletic,
which was a strength of his 2009 version, Sherlock Holmes. With Inspector Lastrade just a memory
and Holmes's love, Irene Adler (Rachel McAdams), appearing briefly, we are left to enjoy not so
much the interaction of Holmes and Watson but the explosiveness of Holmes and Moriarty.
After a first half of explosions, the second half satisfies traditionalists for the chess game of life
and death—and that's the suspenseful fate of the world in those pieces. Director Guy Ritchie has
improved on his 2009 version.
 Summary

In the Sherlock Holmes film, it is very interesting and the setting is not boring, whether it is from
the storyline to the shooting, everything is neatly arranged and this film offers lessons about the
power of logical thinking. Even the most advanced technology cannot replace the power of simple
observation and rational inquiry. Besides that we are also led to not easy to be reactive about
something, be more careful, not always "think positively" and certainly reduce 'baper'.
So apart from being an entertainment this film also sharpens our brains. If you are a gendre riddle
lover or a detective, I highly recommend this film
