While it is nothing groundbreaking, Enola Holmes has plenty of charm and strong performances from its cast to make it a fun family movie.
The story line was solid, but I was very disappointed with the lack of a true mystery that the two Sherlock Holmes films with Robert Downey Jr. had. It was overall solid, but I was confused as to what Enola's mother was doing, hopefully a sequel will help explain it.
The acting was spot on. While Millie Bobby Brown held her own very well, Henry Cavill gave the best performance. It was too bad that they underused him, hopefully a sequel will give him more screen time.
Netflix potentially has a new franchise, and if they were to do a sequel, I would love to see her tackle a bigger mystery with a lot more depth, and lots of surprising twists and turns.
Overall, Enola Holmes has plenty of charm, and strong performances from Henry Cavill and Millie Bobby Brown to help it overcome its flaws, and make it a fun film for the whole family.
Out of 4 stars I would give it...
