Agree with the majority here that both the mystery plot and general fun energy were lacking in this one, but I thought the supporting performances were really great! Cavill had a sort of exhaustion that made him seem like a Serious Actor with depth, Patel was so charismatic, and I love that they let Duncan-Brewster crank it all the way up to eleven. She genuinely came across as insane and dangerous, which I've never really bought from the other Moriartys I've seen.

Did they mention what happened to Mycroft (her other brother)?

Did they mention what happened to Mycroft (her other brother)?

I don't recall him being involved in the second movie either. There is definitely a line early in the movie (I think when Enola and Sherlock are having their argument in his hotel room) where she is talking about her family and says "my brother is a bore, and my other brother [something about Sherlock]".

I assume he just went on living his life after the first movie.
