This film's issues mainly stem from its overreliance on expository dialogue. The other cast members were also impressive, though I did find the acting somewhat stilted during the film's exposition-heavy "serious" scenes. Brown's performance really carries the film, especially in the more lighthearted moments. The second is unfounded because, put simply, this isn't really a Sherlock Holmes film, and were Sherlock as preternaturally intelligent as he is in Doyle's stories, he'd completely overshadow the lead (which is generally not a good thing.) Visually, the film looks great, with beautiful sets and locations, and a wonderful array of period costumes. Expecting accuracy here is like expecting it from The Death of Stalin.
It's a comedy-adventure film based on a series of stories about a fictional detective. The first is unfounded because Enola Holmes in no way presents itself as historical fiction. Much of the noise centered on the historical reimagining that the filmmakers reveled in, which many reviewers took offense to, while another factor that offended viewers was Cavill's portrayal of Sherlock Holmes as both polite and all-too fallible. This film stirred up a lot of drama on release and got a bad reputation for it.
