This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A very good example of "diversity" done right: she has her own character and personality, and does not **** on anyone in order to be "better" than everyone else. She still needs help from Sherlock and her "boyfriend" but she also has major contributions on her own. Same goes for Watson: I don't care if he's black if it will have a place in the story. I could bet that he will because they did the same with Moriarty being a black woman. It was totally fine and made complete sense in the story. More movies should learn from this approach. Easily a 10.… Expand

A surprisingly great entry level filter for detecting traces of misogyny and racism in someone. For those of us who aren't - we know this a somewhat shallow pop fanservice (but why couldn't it be?

I think it is a bit better then the first. The story is more fun to watch, in terms of mystery. The fact that Sherlock is more involve also gives some strength to the movie. The dialogues are certainly, one of the strong part of this movie.I think it is a bit better then the first. The story is more fun to watch, in terms of mystery.

Maybe the ending falls a bit flat, but not necessarily bad. I give it 72%. I like Enola's energy and wits. When oppose to Sherlock stoicism , it makes an interesting duo.… Expand

Just for fun but clever dialog, a decent mystery and competent acting make for good entertainment. Ms Brown retains her restrained cuteness to more than adequately carry the lead. Certainly merits a third production!

Thoroughly enjoyed it, much better and more engaging than the first. Henry Cavill is in this one more and is always great to watch.

Nice to see more of Henry Cavill as Sherlock in this one. This is Millie Bobby Brown’s movie though. She’s even better in this one.

It’s elementary, my dear, Streamers. You knew from the second that Enola Holmes ended that there would be a sequel coming. Our plucky heroine would be roaming the streets of London searching for more crimes to solve and people to find. InIt’s elementary, my dear, Streamers. You knew from the second that Enola Holmes ended that there would be a sequel coming. Our plucky heroine would be roaming the streets of London searching for more crimes to solve and people to find. In Enola Holmes 2, Enola is back to solve mysteries and trying to one-up her older and vastly more famous brother, Sherlock. As these sequels go, however, it can all become a lot more of the same. Here’s whether Enola is able to “out-Sherlock” Sherlock.

Enola Holmes 2 has an easy formula to follow. For everyone who saw the first film, you were already introduced to Enola, so you don’t have to get the who Holmes family backstory again. This movie can move right into what is happening with Enola since the last caper ended. Here, she’s about to close her fledgling private detective agency, when a young girl enlists Enola to find her missing sister. Eagerly, Enola takes on the case of these young women who work in a match factory, and she uncovers the disturbing truths along the way. Sherlock has a bit of a hand deducing in this mystery. Hijinks ensue.

Here’s the thing: if you liked Enola Holmes, there’s no reason you won’t like Enola Holmes 2. Millie Bobby Brown has the same charm and plucky energy as Enola as she did in the first film. Henry Cavill returns as Sherlock, and even though he gets to participate in the crime solving, the focus remains on Enola and her fumbling towards a resolution. The movie is light and interesting. The case has enough twists and turns to sustain the runtime, but it is fairly obvious where the mystery is going early on. I will say that there was a point where I was exhausted by all of the running around and chasing the red herrings. If the characters weren’t interesting and charming, I would have easily lost interest.

The main thing to know is that these Enola Holmes movies are really for your pre-teen/tween-age audience. They are fine for adults, but really, older people will get bored. Your 11-year-old niece will love this. She’ll swoon at the burgeoning romance between Enola and her love interest. Your nephew will swoon over Enola and other castmates and wish they were Sherlock. All while being confused by the most obvious twists, turns, and clues. It’s honestly a win-win situation.

Enola Holmes 2 is a cute teen movie overflowing with young women can do it power. This movie doesn’t feel like it has as much energy as the first but it’s still a quality movie. There is still charm throughout even though the mystery is a bit lacking. Grab a bowl of popcorn and the tween-age family member for a fun afternoon with the Holmes family.… Expand

Slightly better than the previous part in my opinion. Great cast and nice story with a twist. Maybe a bit to long but hey I enjoy it. Great movie for a Netflix production.

Enjoyable adventure caper. Henry Cavill's relationship with the lead makes this movie. Much better than the original.

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.… Expand

Enola Holmes 2 doubles down on the energy to its advantage while showcasing a more exciting, wholesome, and overall inspiring sequel that takes real events into consideration.
