Enola Holmes 2

FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://www.msbreviews.com/movie-reviews/enola-holmes-2-spoiler-free-review "Enola Holmes 2 maintains the levels of light, adventurous fun of the original, surpassing it due to a much more cohesive, intriguing central narrative, in addition to overall better pacing. The different storylines mesh together nicely, and Harry Bradbeer's distinctive visual style remains a standout. Millie Bobby Brown shines as Enola, as does Henry Cavill as Sherlock - the latter even too much, sometimes stealing the spotlight from a female-empowered story partially based on a real event with a significant impact on the evolution of women's rights. Highly recommend it as a weekend viewing." Rating: B

I very much enjoyed this movie. They left the Enola Holmes vibe of the first movie somewhat behind. Now we have more Holmes Enola mystery movie. She's older and out making her own life finding love, finding her brother Sherlock, finding her mom and finding clues to a mystery. It's worth a watch.

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.
