Critics Consensus

Sherlock Gnomes is sadly, utterly stumped by the mystery of the reason for its own existence.

#MovieReview #SherlockGnomes 🌟 🌟 🌟 The movie was cute as it could be. I was upset with the lack of creative aspect. Juliet and Gnomeo had a good role but felt like side characters. The bad guy Mortey was my favorite ever ..... So thats my favorite.

Okay, hear me out. I get it. I've been there. I see a sequel of a random and honestly forgettable kids film and I feel my blood boil from seeing good U.S. dollars being virtually burnt for a film with no creativity or plot direction. But Sherlock Gnomes (2018) is different. This film has everything- romance, suspense, and a mystery to solve. The villain was amazing and soooo girly pop I could absolutely not take my eyes off the screen. So initially when the film started I thought that Juliet was a total B-word; It made sense that she spent all her time in the garden with trees because she had a total stick up her a**. But what makes Sherlock Gnomes such a good sequel is the character development- Juliet is able to pull that stick out and save her relationship. Gnomeo barley has any screen time/ plot relevance but he is a king and we love him. Now, onto the subject of Sherlock. He was phenomenal 😍😍😍. He really learned to show respect for others which was great to see, he is so silly to watch and I love how shiny and kickable he looked. By kickable I mean he looks like I could just give him a lil kick and feel so much joy 😚. I love his tiny soul patch. Peak character design, the animators knew what they were doing. But this gnome is more than just a body, he also has brains that he uses for super funny shenanigans like saving gnomes. He is accompanied by the Watson Gnome, and I honestly feel so sad for Watson. His character is the equivalent of a cold wet saltine. [SPOILER WARNING ⚠️⚠️⚠️] when he is being psychoanalyzed by Moriarty (the main villain, an evil pie), the second hand embarrassment was REAL. That man (or should I say gnome) looked like a complete idiot. I wanted to give him a hug :( and maybe he should not have mass kidnapped hundreds of garden gnomes but Sherlock was being self-centered and hyper focusing on his enemy :((. anyway back to the review. Uhhh yea the top critics didn't like it because they hate fun its 5/5 stars for people who love fun :)) ✨✨

Well, it's a movie, while the plot isn't confusing and is quite good, it just feels boring most of the time

It's a serviceable animated take on a well known tale that also happens to be a sequel. One could call it a movie solely for kids, but you can't even trust them being happy with the product.

Comes together better than any belated sequel to a mostly forgotten family movie probably should.
