Enola Holmes 2

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.

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.

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.
