Review of Enola Holmes (2020) by Krizthian — 27 Sep 2020

I was really excited about this one. Not gonna lie. I really liked the film on it's first minutes.

Then it happened...

For real, I do not want to say: "Ughh this is such a bad adaptation that's why it sucks".

Real problem here is that in one point you realize this is a Netflix production so you can expect some forced topics. But that's not the real problem, and by the way, are we seriously going to forget that Helena's character was trying to make a terrorist attack? I though she was being framed or something but turns it was more real than I thought. After finishing the film couldn't avoid to think that, for real, there's no even way to justify that Netflix and Millie (Who produces this by the way).

Henry is perfect, though he couldn't fit the role but he does, althought of course it's kind of a different version of the Sherlock we know, some changes but it's Sherlock. Real and HUGE problem comes with Mycroft, if he would've turned into the person behind everything this movie would have a large zero, lucky for us he is just a selfish who hates feminism. Mycroft in books it's almost smart as Sherlock is, but here they turned him into an stupid and annonying brother, in the end he is just that, nothing else, but come on, Sam does what he best can and that script they gave him it's stupid, when they made him yell during the trip with Enola, it was cringy, lame, I mean, they're really trying to make him look like the bad anti-feminist guy. Awful.

And finally, Enola is smart, but she didn't solve the case. She went to the house with another idea, and she found the answer there but didn't solve anything. Sherlock did it and somehow she takes the credit, ALL the credit. And again, she didn't solve anything.

It's fun to watch, it has some good moments but for real and I can't stop thinking about this while I'm writing.

HELENA'S CHARACTER WAS TRYING TO MAKE A TERRORIST ATTACK! And they justify it with the fact that she was fighting for women rights. Really, can't stop thinking about this, but go on, watch it, not recommend it but it's not like it's unwatchable.
