Good not great but good. If you came because of Henry Cavill and his take on Sherlock Holmes don't bother. His brother Mycroft has more screen time. Plus it's hard to even tell if he had a British accent with how little he was in the film. I understood that Enola was the main character but they shouldn't have bothered with Sherlock. Enola honestly sometimes got on your nerves with the so called puzzles. Main one is that were scrabble pieces honestly could take you years if ever. Plus she kept harping on her name. That was a major deal that didn't serve the plot. Then they tell you this guy Enola meets that doesn't really do anything other than argue over who knows Sherlock more. Turned out he is a fairly important character in the Sherlock Holmes books but not mention by name till the end of the film. There's a minor love story that takes over the main mission to find their mother who went missing. Most of the movie Mycroft is searching for Enola. Sherlock can't be bothered to solve anything till the end after Enola was almost killed solving it herself. Mycroft even asked at one point is he looking for their mother who went missing and Enola. Sherlock claims to be working on it yet walked right by her in disguise. Sherlock might as well only showed up at the end for all the screen time and lousy investigation. The villains found her yet the great detective Sherlock Holmes couldn't.
