Sherlock Holmes 2 **SPOILER ALERT**`

In the final fight scene, Sherlock Holmes has a mind battle with Professor Moriarty. At first when Holmes makes his first "mind-move" there is no music, the audience is held in suspense for the battle to come. When The Professor counters his attack the audience watching begin to pick out quiet bits of the low mysterious music which then pics up as the fight unwinds to show a sort of sad almost despairing mood. These sad sounding notes hint at the negative outcome for Holmes in this battle. As The Professor releases Holmes' body, in slow motion, to fall into the water far far below, all we can hear is a slow music that reflects a finality, a doom, a lose off all hope. When the scene returns to reality there is a sudden drum beat signaling a return of hope but it dies quickly as the sad music continues and slowly dies away. As Sherlock Holmes starts following through with his actual plan and blows ashes into Professor Moriarty's face as a distraction so he has time to grab him in a hold, the music reflects this by quickly starting up with a fast escalating upbeat mood as it is clear that Holmes may still win. It dies quickly as Dr. Watson enters and Holmes Throws himself over the rail, still holding the Professor. As Watson watches this the slow sad piano notes start to play reflecting his sadness at the lose of his good friend. The sad music then continues as the narrator, Dr.Watson, finishes telling the story of the great Sherlock Holmes. When he is finished and notices the package that came in the mail he opens it and fins the oxygen tank that Holmes was interested in at the manor, the music then softly transforms to mysterious and then dies again as Watson walks out of the room. A Sherlock Holmes, who was hiding in the room, reviles himself to the audience the music, reflecting the ending, turns happy and sort of reminds me of what a prankster and joker  Holmes is in its slow beat and tone of the notes.
