Review of Enola Holmes (2020) by Zefyrus — 28 Sep 2020
I'm sorry but I couldn't even finish the movie. I gave up straight after the movie changed it's first, very boring direction of "looking for mum", to a second, infinitely more boring "looking for Tewksburry"; a character so flat and force-shoved in the viewer's throat for absolutely no reason.
Other pain points:
* Exposition is ridiculously overused and becomes tiring very quickly, even for such a young and charming face as Millie.
* Sherlock Holmes (Cavill) looks like, well, literally Superman. He's so beefed up and looks so out-of-place in early 20th century clothes. Cavill, which I adore, was woefully miscast.
* The Holmes brothers are completely incompetent and useless. Sherlock looks like he's completely bored out of his mind and cba with the movie.
* A women's only Jiujitsu club in central London, with an overweight black Sensei. SJW nonsense parade.
* A 16 year-old skinny girl easily stands up to a 40 year-old bully and withstands A LOT of senseless beating, because when she was little, het mother trained her in the apple grove.
* Movie gives a hint on women's suffrage, which is good, but it does it with a very cringy way.
