Enola Holmes 2

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.

Enola Holmes, now a Private Detective in her own right is employed to search for a missing girl.

It's good, for the most part I enjoyed it, as with the first, I wish I'd kept it for boxing day tea, it would have been the perfect family adventure. It's very, very similar to the first, if you enjoyed that, I'm sure you'll enjoy this, if you hated it, there's nothing dissimilar here, more of the same.

Good storyline, very imaginative and creative, very good production values too, it looked pretty great I thought.

A shame that Mycroft didn't appear, I enjoyed his character in the first film, it did allow Sherlock to get more focus, and that was great, but perhaps also some of the problem, when Cavill is on screen as Sherlock Holmes, he does overtake, it was him I wanted to see more of.

Enola herself, I liked her more than I did in the first film, I look forward to seeing her develop even further in the third.

6/10.

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!

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.

I really enjoyed this sequel. They took every thing good about the first film, and turned up the dial. For a avrege sherlock holmes enjoyed, this film is full of fun to be had. The story, like the first film, giving a nice prospective for real world events, and sums them up quite nicely. The acting in this film is great, and aspecialy Henry Cavil's, who stole the show every moment he was on screen. One small flaw that annoyed me was that unlike thw first one, whitch clearly had kids in mind, this one has quite a few scenes, which might be considerd too gory for the younger audience, while still having quite a few jokes and moment that seem to he targeted and smaller children.
