I had fun with this movie, I liked it very much. I'd say much of the same commentary and critique I had for the first one applies to this one. It's a great cast—Millie Bobby Brown is infectiously likable as Enola Holmes, Helena Bonham Carter is especially well-cast as her mother, Louis Partridge is such a fun presence in each of his not-nearly-enough scenes, and I really enjoy the stylized way the titles are presented throughout the film and I personally find it fun the way MBB turns to the camera and addresses it like a British period mystery adaptation of Dora the Explorer. Honestly, as a mystery, I'd say this movie holds up far better than the first. Great twist villain I genuinely didn't see coming, and very fun to see Enola holding up just as well as a detective alongside her brother, Sherlock.

I think the one thing holding Enola Holmes 2 back from that next level for me is the very fact it's a sequel. Coming off the heels of the first film, which is a movie I loved and wanted to see how the world and stakes could be expanded... that first movie was a tough act to follow! Enola 2 was nonetheless a very good movie in its own right and another fun installment in a promising franchise. I'd love to see what could be done with a third film.
