Enola Holmes 2

Love how this movie is based off true events. I was actually researching the matchgirls earlier this year so it was a pleasant surprise to find that Enola Holmes 2 was partly based off this. It's just great how they intertwine historical content into a engaging mystery narrative.

In all honesty, I still believe that the first Enola Holmes is better than this one. But this is not to say it is not worth a watch. I love the style (is that what you would call it??) of this film, and of course the actresses/actors are great.

Also, apparently Enola Holmes is based off a book, but I have not yet read it so cannot comment on its likeness.

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.

A flame haired girl has vanished disappeared, there's only one sleuth who is free and volunteers, to find out where she might have gone, if foul play has done her wrong, and doused her fire, caused to expire, as some have feared.

Lots of chasing, with fraught pacing then ensues, as Enola sparks the wick of Grail's fuse, Sherlock dances a solution, helps resolve his own confusion, but it's a cunning and deceptive type of ruse.

An entertaining piece that strikes a chord, as lucifers are snuffed to great reward, with some history thrown in, the end is bound to make you grin, since you have the right, you might as well join in!

As engaging and delightful as ever.

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.

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!
