I watched the Enola Holmes movie yesterday and loved it. For fans of the book, there are a few differences. They aged Enola up to sixteen, gave her a love interest, made her mother part of a feminist group of women who made explosives and practiced martial arts.
So the main plot is Enola Holmes, sister to Sherlock and Mycroft, her mother goes missing on her sixteenth birthday leaving behind cyphers and money for her. Mycroft wants to put her in a finishing school so she runs away and moves to London. On the way, the Marquis of Basilwether has run away from home for an unexplained reason and is hiding in her train carriage. The hired hit man his evil uncle sent after him finds them and they have to jump off of the train and walk to London. After they part ways, Enola searches for her mother. She finds her mother was a member of a group of free-thinking women who make explosives (it never explains what they would want to explode) and practice martial arts. Suddenly, the hired hit man is after her! She explodes her mother's laboratory and escapes. Also, there's this Bill that will be voted on for Women's Reform Stuff in England (never explains what the bill will do) and it must be passed. Fortunately, her friend the Marquis wants to vote to pass it. Unfortunately, the hired hit man wants to stop him from making it. The suspense continues as Enola is pretty much kidnapped by Mycroft and forced to go to the finishing school. Fortunately, the Marquis breaks her out. For some reason, they have to stop by his awesomely huge manor. While they're there, the hired hit man shows up with a firearm of some sort and then there's a great plot twist. Will they escape and pass the Bill?
Apart from Enola's disconcerting habit of breaking the fourth wall frequently, it's a great movie and I really loved it. The book series is awesome as well.
