Enola Holmes 2

Das zweite Abenteuer von Enola Holmes tritt fast genau in die Fußstapfen ihres zwei Jahre alten Vorgängers - der Film versucht vielleicht nur, noch feministischer zu sein, was mich persönlich nicht gestört hat. Zwei Stunden lang (einhundert Minuten hätten auch gereicht) taucht der Zuschauer ein in eine Welt von Detektiven, Streichhölzern, Tanz- und Selbstverteidigungskursen - eine Welt der Männer, in der die Frauen gehört werden wollen. Mir haben die Krimihandlung und auch die Beteiligung von "Moriarty" gefallen - auch wenn sein Auftritt bei vielen Zuschauern sicher einen bitteren Beigeschmack hinterlassen wird. Das Ende des Films ermutigte nur zu einer Fortsetzung, die für mich etwas düsterer hätte ausfallen können. (12.11.2022)

If you liked the first film, you'll like the second one, and if you didn't like the first one, you'd better not watch the second one and spare the world your whatever-phobic crap. Everyone will be better off, because this enjoyable adventure flick is far from silly, and the intriguing plot based on a true story pulls it forward as much as Millie Bobby Brown's infectious hyperactivity, Henry Cavill's likeable brooding, Harry Bradbeer's brisk direction, and Daniel Pemberton's even brisker score. If the film was a bit shorter, it would probably be even better, but otherwise there's not much to complain about. (05.11.2022)

Quite alright. Basically, it’s like the first one, only that the case is more tangled with Sherlock’s. Cavill plays a drunken Holmes and Enola discovers that being alone is not a good thing. The shocking casting twists aren't that surprising, because Black lives matter, just maybe if the shock at the end didn't stand on that alone. Enola misses much more than the viewer. The strike at the factory is great, at least we know why all factories are facing automation. (06.11.2022)

Enola washes her blue stockings and throws herself back into solving detective stories and defending women's rights. I like how this girl talking to the viewer through the broken fourth wall more than in part one. The story is tighter and more believable. Enola is more mature and therefore has calmed down a bit. Not enough to bore, and she has enough firepower left to entertain. The movie makes no secret of the fact that it is primarily intended for teenage girls, as someone to lean on and to some extent as a role model. Why on earth not? We have seen heaps of boy rascals, but girls don't have that many rascal heroines to identify with. IN A NUTSHELL: Sometimes a strike of a match can start a fire that just keeps burning. (23.02.2023)
