Enola Holmes 2 works well enough as a story that you do not need to have seen the first film to enjoy it. Enola (Millie Bobby Brown) opens her own detective agency in London. To line up with her much more famous older brother Sherlock (Henry Cavill). It starts with drawing Enola distances herself from her romantic relationship with lord Twekesbury (Louis Partridge) and become embroiled in the case of missing girl (Hanna Dodd) who worked at the Lion's Match Factory. When Enola becomes a murder suspect, she must use all her skills, not just those of Sherlock and her mother Eudoria (Helena Bonham Carter), to solve her case. Along with Captain Lestrade (Adeel Akhtar) and Superintendent Grail (David Thewlis), Enola faces a hellish adventure.
Enola Holmes 2 reunites director Harry Bradbeer and Writer Jack Thorne from the original, but the film feels stronger in every way. Based on the novel by Nancy Springer, the film is based on the true story of the 1888 match-selling strike in England. As a major worker's rights event, one would expect this to be a film with a preachy message, but throne complicated the narrative, making it feel like a classic Sir Arthur Conan his Doyle movie. It's filled with the intriguing clues and red herrings of mystery while history . It also helps that Sherlock Holmes has a bigger presence in the film. Henry Cavill is great as Elder Holmes and we get to see him do a lot more with the character and nurture his relationship with his sister. Both Cavill and Brown have outstanding screen presences and work very well together.
A wide range of character here advances the story. Sam in his Claflin's Mycroft does not appear in this film, but throne manages to incorporate even more elements from the original Sherlock in his Holmes canon, pleasing the character's fans and making this fictional world a reality broaden the range of what remains intact from the first film is Enol's cheeky use of breaking the fourth wall and speaking directly to the audience. Of course, when Enola's romantic ambitions collide with her professional ambitions, there must be some eye-opening moments, but that doesn't detract from the story, never. In fact, Enola Holmes 2 doesn't feel like a movie for teens or younger audiences. Because the themes and on-screen action make Guy he feel far from Richie's testosterone-heavy version of Holmes.
