The plot: Enola Holmes takes on her first case as a detective, but to unravel the mystery of a missing girl, she’ll need some help from friends — and brother Sherlock.
I’m can’t wait to watch this sequel to see how our characters are since the first one.
I was torn about this film whether to like it or hate it.
Pros: The amount of screen time that both brother and sister had were some of the best moments together on screen. I liked the beginning of the film. Sherlock Holmes (Henry Cavill) had more to do this time around & the action was serviceable.
Cons: The film went on for too long. Viscount is a bit of a waste of space in this sequel. At times Enola does get annoying throughout sections of the film.
