Enola Holmes 3: Review

 A dull film that wastes its core cast!

The story line in this movie was so weak! There was no mystery to it whatsoever, and that has been the main reason why I enjoyed the first two movies. There were so many bad character moments as well, and I absolutely hated how they portrayed Sherlock Holmes as almost incompetent. The villain in this movie was weak as well. Enola's whole character was so dull and boring sadly, as she was such a joy to watch in the first 2 films, and see the journey her character went through to be a good detective. 

The acting was mixed for me. Millie Bobby Brown is always able to make the most with what she has (Look no further than Stranger Things: Season 5), and she always does good with her facial expressions. I have always liked Henry Cavill as Sherlock Holmes, and it was too bad he wasn't used better in this movie. Helena Bonham Carter stole the show for me, and I was happy they gave her a bigger role, even if she needed more scenes with Henry Cavill. Himesh Patel did an awful job as Dr. Watson, easily the biggest fumble of this movie. Sharon Duncan-Brewster was not a good choice for Professor Moriarty, it should have been Idris Elba. Louis Partridge was decent, but he just seemed to be going through the motions.

The film's plot twists were not exciting also, and they were very predictable. I just cannot believe how badly this movie was written. Tewkesbury's decision at the end of the movie completely ruined the journey his character had been going through in the first 2 movies. Sherlock and Watson had no chemistry also, and Moriarty had no depth as a villain!

If there is a sequel, please make sure it has a bigger mystery to it. I would love for it to focus on Enola and Tewesbury becoming parents, as Millie would do such a good job at dealing with the difficulties of being a parent, but also showing how much love she has. I need to see Henry play the fun Uncle also. Give a potential sequel a better villain also!

Such a disappointment, especially coming from the guy who really liked the first two movies. I expected more!

Out of 4 stars I would give it...
