Henry Cavil's Sherlock Holmes 100%, without a shadow of a doubt, is into dark skin black women. His arch nemesis? Plus the vibes he had with Edith? And then on top of that, the fact that Watson is a beautiful brown man?? I love to see it.
I think I liked this one better than the first, but only because it explored more of Enola’s relationship with Tewkesbury. The two movies are pretty similar in quality. The first one did a lot of setting up, so I also enjoyed this one more because I already knew the main characters. I really enjoyed both movies, though. I know a third one hasn’t officially been confirmed, but I hope there is another one because these are good movies.
Sex/nudity: 1/10 (kissing)
Language: 1/10 (mild British exclamations)
Violence: 4/10 (a little more gruesome than the first one, several fights, some deaths on and off screen with bodies shown)
This movie is better than the first one and much more enjoyable. I like Enola's chemistry with Tewkesbury, and I pretty much enjoyed whenever the Holmes siblings are together. Wish there are more scenes of them together and just investigating crimes. They have great dynamics together. Some parts of the plot are predictable like the cause of the disease that kills the match girls, Cecily being Sarah (and wanting help from Tewkesbury), and even the fan message of Tewkesbury. The only thing that surprised me is the identity of Moriarty. Like, I know the minister's secretary (or assistant) is kind of suspicious, but I didn't know she has that big character hiding in her shoulders. Pretty sure we will see more of her in the future (third movie please!!!).
All in all, I pretty much enjoyed this movie.
P.S. The poster above kinda give away the plot. Why I’m just realizing it now?

Enola Holmes is back and has started her own detective firm. Being a female detective-for-hire isn’t easy, and as Enola is about to close shop a “penniless matchstick girl offers Enola her first official job: to find her missing sister. But this case proves to be far more puzzling than expected, as Enola is thrown into a dangerous new world — from London’s sinister factories and colorful music halls, to the highest echelons of society and 221B Baker Street itself. As the sparks of a deadly conspiracy ignite, Enola must call upon the help of friends — and Sherlock himself — to unravel her mystery. The game, it seems, has found its feet again!” (Netflix)
Enola Holmes 2 stars Millie Bobby Brown, Henry Cavill, David Thewlis, Louis Partridge, Susan Wokoma, Adeel Akhtar, Sharon Duncan-Brewster, and Helena Bonham Carter. Harry Bradbeer directs from a screenplay by Jack Thorne. The story is by Thorne and Bradbeer.
Now a detective-for-hire, Enola Holmes takes on her first official case to find a missing girl as the sparks of a dangerous conspiracy ignite a mystery that requires the help of friends - and Sherlock himself - to unravel.
Another round of jolly good fun. With a case that has historical social relevance.
For its enjoyment the breaking of the 4th wall is ... elementary.
