I liked this, though I thought it was a little too long.

Rule was cool, he's a tattooed, pierced bad boy who slept around with anyone who was up for it at the start and in a way, I didn't like it. Then we met Shaw and I liked her influence on him. They may be polar opposites but they compliment each other quite nicely.

All the main characters were pretty amazing; Nash, Rome, Jet, Ayden, Cora, Rowdy...if I missed anyone I'm sorry! They were a fun bunch and I liked their interaction, teasing and flirting with each other.

I'm kinda sad that I missed "meeting" Remy, he seemed like he was a great person; friend and brother, and I understand why he didn't tell anyone his secret, though I kinda figured it out by about half way through.

A nice start to the series and I look forward to reading Jet, Rome and Nash's stories too.

Not very mysterious
It could arguably be said that we don't need yet another incarnation of Sherlock Holmes and his family. And in the case of Enola Holmes, I'd have to agree.

Millie Bobby Brown is wonderfully endearing and enigmatic as Enola, and even Henry Cavill as Sherlock wasn't half bad (I actually wish there could have been more of him in this). The problem is the story and whole premise of this film. It's trying to say something about female empowerment but then contradicts itself constantly by Enola spending her entire time trying to outwit her brother and chasing around after a boy. It's also a little lacking in actually mystery - the story it puts forwards is rather dull and not particularly mysterious. This film seems to be aimed at a younger audience, and for adults is just an average kids film. Indeed this is probably a film best suited for young/teenage girls and not one I'd recommend if you're not a teenager!
