Trailer for 'Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows'

Just a few days ago we got a first look at the posters for Guy Ritchie's upcoming sequel "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows," and now, we've got the first trailer to share with you, so check it out after the jump. It actually looks pretty entertaining...

This sequel to the 2009 Robert Downey Jr. vehicle will find Holmes and his sidekick Watson, played by Jude Law, joining forces to bring down their most vicious adversary yet, Professor Moriarty, played by Jared Harris. Noomi Rapace co-stars as Sim.

"Sherlock Holmes 2" opens Dec. 16, 2011. Although I did not absolutely love the first film, I enjoyed it, and this trailer promises just as much action and dry humor as its predecessor. Strangely enough, it feels kind of good to see Downey Jr. and Law back in action.
