Yeah, I didn't bother posting but I was also disappointed. I felt a lot of the humor was pure farce - it didn't come from the characters, it came from just being bizarre and random for no reason, which I find less funny generally and not at all funny when it's a source where I'm engaged with the characters. Also, apparently I'm just out of step with fandom because I found it way less slashy than the first movie, or at least, less slashy in an appealing way. I liked the first movie because we really saw how Holmes and Watson related to each other and enjoyed each other's company. That was absent here - the movie went for even more action, and wink-wink jokes, but didn't show the actual relationship itself the way the first movie did.
