在影片第一部中，福尔摩斯的宿敌莫利亚提教授曾有过短暂的现身，但却没有露出真颜 。而影片结尾留下的悬念则向观众预示这个聪明绝顶的人物将在第二部中和大侦探上演精彩对决。这一集，福尔摩斯和华生将对莫里亚蒂展开追逐。同时登场的还有好斗的吉普赛女郎“希姆”（Sim）。上一集中福尔摩斯总是让华生陷入麻烦，这一次华生将不断帮福尔摩斯摆脱麻烦，同时还要处理好和自己未婚妻飘忽不定的关系。
Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) has always been the smartest man in the room...until now. There is a new criminal mastermind at large-Professor Moriarty (Jared Harris)-and not only is he Holmes' intellectual equal, but his capacity for evil, coupled with a complete lack of conscience, may actually give him an advantage over the renowned detective. When the Crown Prince of Austria is found dead, the evidence, as construed by Inspector Lestrade (Eddie Marsan), points to suicide. But Sherlock Holmes deduces that the prince has been the victim of murder-a murder that is only one piece of a larger and much more portentous puzzle, designed by Professor Moriarty. The cunning Moriarty is always one step ahead of Holmes as he spins a web of death and destruction-all part of a greater plan that, if he succeeds, will change the course of history. 
小编点评：与书上看的人物性格完全不一样啊，但是同样激动人心的就是故事情节了，看到这个拉风的预告片，真是期待加咆哮啊。
