Film Review: Enola Holmes 2

 Oh my dear, dear Enola Holmes 2... what you could have been, and what you ended up being.

You had everything.. a great cast, an Art Director straight out of a director's dreams, great costumes, music, research.. absolutely everything..down to the detail of the chaperone and the dance card - even an actual historical event as backdrop - and you had to fumble on the story and have plotholes?! Why?

When an average movie insults our intelligence with its bizzare plotholes, we feel bad, but it's one factor in many, and therefore, easy to ignore. But when your pathetic plotholes kill an entire movie for us.. My dear, that is so hard to forgive.

#SpoilerAlertFromHere

We love the chemistry and the Oh! So sweet romance.. though why the Lordships rain in films I have no idea.

We love Sherlock.. and the twist to his character.. we miss Dr. Watson and Mycroft.

We LOVE Sarah Chapman, Bessie, and their characters.

That bathroom scene deserves a standing ovation.. for the level of detail that went into it.. the powder stool and mirror, the bathtub, the curtains.. i could not take eyes off that background and the detail in it.

We love the fight scenes.. until that 30-minute climax fight that is part fantasy and a lot more poor lighting. (next time, call Veeru Devgan for these long fight scenes. We know how to do this right).

We don't understand how, after losing his son, the father stands and stares from the railing as the girls support the very thing for which his only son was murdered.

We don't quite get how weeks of campaigning to get the match girls to strike is reduced to a pathetic 5-minute scene involving some stomping of boots and a rather insipid speech.

We don't understand, first of all, why Sarah Chapman needed to hide at all. And that deciphering of the address of the Love Nest.. oh please!!

Dear Enola Holmes 3.. Please be better! You deserve it, and we deserve it. We totally love you. Just not like this.
