Enola Holmes 2 (2022)
A sequel worth watching
I was apprehensive to watch this as I thoroughly enjoyed the first Enola Holmes and she is back with her quick witted brilliance. Millie Bobby Brown plays her role beautifully it is almost like it's written just for her!
The main story line was written brilliantly with lots of twists and turns as expected with the first film. It kept me guessing.
The only think I will say is I felt it would have been better made into a series rather then a movie. It felt a little long, although it matches the first movie almost to the minute in run time I'm unsure why but for me it just seemed to go on and on.
** No spoilers ** but I did love the ending and I feel Sherlock Holmes fans would too.
Above the Shadows (2019)
Very predictable
I watched this after seeing some TikTok shorts as they were very entertaining but I must admit about half way through I was literally falling asleep. I found that I could pretty much guess what was happening next as it's like so many other love movies, there wasn't a single moment where I went "oh I didn't expect that". I also found the acting quite flat in places but then really good in other parts. Wasn't consistent at all.
There also wasn't really a reason as to why she was invisible. Yes there was a tragedy but it's pretty far fetched to believe she became invisible and forgotten to her family. Also why could that one person see her? What made him different to the rest of the world. It's because he's troubled too? If it's literally because they have suffered a loss of something then no one would be able to see anyone ever as everyone has lost something.
I'm not entirely sure why this movie has so many good reviews, maybe I completely missed something. I thought it was make believe love story. I wouldn't recommend.
The Boy (2016)
Oddly entertaining
To be honest when I saw the trailer for this I thought it was going to be a really cringe type movie, I only really added it to my list to cringe at it. However I really did enjoy it. The concept of the doll does have a cringe moment or two but as the movie progresses and the story line starts to unfold it all makes sense. I wouldn't put this in the horror category personally, it is more of a thriller. The story line was really good though and very unexpected, I would really recommend giving it a go. I finished it and am currently watching the sequel.
