Enola Holmes 2

While the first film was all about finding herself, "Enola Holmes 2" is a straight detective story, with Enola following in the footsteps of her famous older brother yet carving her own path and honing her young super-sleuthing skills. She's still smart, perceptive, and fiercely independent. And she still routinely breaks the fourth wall to offer us some hilarious commentary or sometimes just to get things off her chest. This is where Brown's performance really shines. Her ability to shuffle between comedy and drama is impressive. And she's able to retain Enola's playfulness from the first film while also showing some meaningful growth. Brown fully embodies her character. She carries the movie with her effervescent style, and the other actors follow suit.

Highly engaging, clever and well written script, wonderful costumes, really great character development carrying over from first movie .I thoroughly enjoyed this caper.

About on par with the original, which I suppose is the minimum you want from a sequel.

I have similar thoughts about 'Enola Holmes 2' as I do for 'Enola Holmes'. Millie Bobby Brown is a strong lead, the support cast are good but the plot still isn't the most entertaining to watch unfold onscreen. I'm not sure it needed to be told over 2hrs, either.

Still, I got the required amount of entertainment from it. I appreciate the message and the story it tells, as well as them (seeming to, to me anyway) toning down the fourth-wall breaking - which is a tad overdone in the 2020 flick.

It seems likely that we'll be getting more of these, which I'm cool with - if the main cast remain, that is.

If you were a fan of the first, like I was, you should enjoy this second outing...

It doesn't try to outdo the first film or be too different... it's a natural continuation of the story. Millie Bobby-Brown and co deliver excellent comedic/action sequences with the mystery element still central to the plot.

Millie's acting chops should now see her take on some more challenging roles (like Florence Pugh). But for now these types of roles are right up her alley. The film has a great pace to it, and develops the characters well, including the new ones. The set design and costumes again bring an old London to life.

Remember, it's not an Oscar contending drama... It's a fun family friendly action/comedy... So enjoy it on that level.

Second verse, same as the first. Sometimes the knowing glances at the camera are perfectly timed, and sometimes they are over the top. Sometimes the mystery's intriguing, and sometimes it is laughable. Sometimes the interplay crackles, and sometimes it feels cartoonish. This series is filled with all the highs and all the lows. There's no doubt that Brown and Cavill kill it, but everything else struggles to keep up. If you have a middle schooler, it is a great intro to classic mysteries...but if you want a truly classic mystery, the BBC's Sherlock is a much better option. (Also, if we're ranking the Holmes adaptations, it is far from the bottom. And far from the top, as well.) As for the endings? Yikes.

This is the sequel to the previous Enola Holmes film and can I just say how great this one is too!! I was worried it would be too similar to the first one but this was not an issue. Despite still having a very similar story line (I mean how many detective stories can there be?), I still very much enjoyed it. Millie is an incredible actress and is so talented for a such a young woman. The cast is suited perfectly. There was not a moment where I thought a scene was unnecessary which is amazing for a longer film (2 hours). I really enjoyed this film and the ending was brilliant making me excited for the next one!
