Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows trailer

Apart from seeing RDJ in a dress and make-up, which could either be hilarious or relatively creepy, I do not see anything necessarily bad about this trailer, except maybe that it's almost equally as overblown as the trailers for the first film. The difference, however, is that they're actually showing a good example of Holmes' expertise when he reveals the fortune teller's attacker, so it comes off as more than just a typical action flick. One thing I'm REALLY hoping for is that they don't overuse slow motion like many blockbusters tend to do. The first one made great use of slow-motion by allowing Holmes to explain what he was doing to make the action seem just as intelligent as he was. My point: What the heck could he explain running through a forest and being shot at? Still, the first Sherlock Holmes was a great film in my eyes, and it left a lot of questions that they'll hopefully answer in this sequel, so I'll have to see it either way. Solid trailer, looking forward to the movie.
