REVIEW: Enola Holmes 3 (2026 Film) - Starring Millie Bobby Brown



Enola Holmes 3 follows Enola Holmes (Millie Bobby Brown) to Malta for her wedding to Tewkesbury (Louis Partridge), where celebration quickly gives way to chaos when Sherlock Holmes (Henry Cavill) disappears and a wider conspiracy begins to unfold. As Enola investigates, she is pulled into a tangled case involving political corruption, hidden wartime gold and the return of Moriarty, while Dr Watson (Himesh Patel) becomes an unexpected ally and Eudoria Holmes (Helena Bonham Carter) appears briefly to support the unfolding crisis.

The film delivers a visually rich and energetic mystery, with strong performances carrying much of the weight, particularly Millie Bobby Brown’s Enola and Henry Cavill’s Sherlock. However, the investigation itself often takes a back seat to action and treasure hunt elements, and the structure begins to feel familiar by the third instalment. While still entertaining and stylish, it shows clear signs of franchise fatigue, even if the emotional resolution and cast chemistry keep it engaging through to the end.

REVIEW: Mortal Kombat II (2026 Film) - Starring Karl Urban


Mortal Kombat II (2026) is a sequel that fully embraces its identity as a loud, gory martial arts fantasy built around the iconic video game franchise. The film follows Johnny Cage as he is pulled into Raiden’s fight for Earthrealm, joining a wider group of fighters as they enter a deadly interdimensional tournament against Shao Kahn’s forces. The action is the main attraction, with well-staged combat sequences that lean into a raw, 1990s-inspired style and deliver the kind of brutality fans expect, alongside a steady undercurrent of humour that keeps the tone from becoming too serious.

While the film’s energy and fan service are strong selling points, its structure is less consistent. The narrative juggles a large cast and multiple story threads, which leads to uneven pacing and moments where the momentum dips. It also feels slightly overlong, with certain plot developments competing for attention rather than building cleanly. Even so, it remains an entertaining experience for fans of the franchise, offering enough spectacle, violence and character appearances to outweigh its structural flaws, resulting in a solid, if imperfect, sequel.
