I have loved the Enola Holmes (Millie Bobby Brown) movies, and the third movie does not disappoint. However in this movie we have a couple kidnappings, Sherlock (Henry Cavill) and Lord Tewkesbury's (Louis Partridge) mother (Hattie Morahan). Enola's mother, Eudoria (Helena Bonham Carter) provides support, as does Dr. Watson (Himesh Patel). Moriarty (Sharon Duncan-Brewster) is back and more evil than ever as they look for the gold stolen by Lord Tewkesbury's father many years ago. This is over the top of the Tewkesbury/Holmes wedding. This is a fun movie with lots of intrigue.

Movie Review: ***^Enola Holmes 2 (2022)
Enola Holmes (Millie Bobby Brown) returns for a different ploy in which the police and several politicians are complicit in covering up dangerous industrial conditions which are killing the women making matches. We have most of the same characters from #1. Tewkesbury (Louis Partridge) is still a boy of interest to Enola. A nice part of this movie is a larger role taken by Sherlock Holmes (Henry Cavill) and he and Enola are investigating separate cases which end up being different ends of the same case. Sherlock is investigating money laundering while Enola investigates the disappearance of a young woman's sister. The superintendent of police, Grail (David Thewlis) has turned bad and is involved in a conspiracy to defraud the government and prevent improved industrial conditions. These cases include additional murders, and Enola is framed for one of them and goes to prison. At this point her mother (Helena Bonham Carter) and her friend Edith (Susan Wokoma) blow up the prison wall and brake her out of jail. Enola, Sherlock and Lord Tewkesbury eventually join hands are on on the chase.

Movie Review: ****Enola Holmes
Enola Holmes is a Netflix movie from 2020. I had watched it before but am watching it again in preparation to watch Enola Holmes 2. Enola (Millie Bobby Brown) is the younger sister of Sherlock (Henry Cavill) and Mycroft Holmes (Sam Claflin). Enola has been raised in an eccentric manner by her mother (Helena Bonham Carter) after her father dies and her older brothers head to London. When her mother disappears it creates a situation where Enola needs a ward--she is only sixteen. Mycroft takes the turn and insists she be sent to finishing school. Instead Enola sneaks away and heads to London to find her mother. However she instead gets involved in a case of a disappearance of Lord Tewkesbury (Louis Partridge.). Turns out Lord Tewkesbury is under threat of being murdered after his father was previously murdered. Sherlock suggests she dangle her feet in the water so as to draw out the sharks. This she does to almost getting herself and Lord Tewkesbury murdered. All over being able to influence the vote in the House of Lords.
This movie is loads of fun. The thing that makes it go is the character Enola Holmes as portrayed by Brown. The movie is based on the book series by Nancy Springer.
