SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

toniegarcia I try to find something positive in anything I watch but now I'm just ready to fall asleep. There are some cool graphics in Sherlock's day dreams but otherwise this is a waste of time and had to shut it off 30 minutes into it.

cbrleah Don't know why so many reviews are throwing shade on this children's movie. I found it pretty straight forward to follow, filled with laughs and lots of great music. I loved the Matt Lucas character and the subtle innuendo. Sure, it's not something I'd pay for again and it's no Trolls but then again .. it's a kids movie. I still enjoyed it and so did my child.

the_doofy After awhile I was pretty burned out on the friendship stuff, the theme was revisited so much I started to wonder if it was being used as filler.The scene in the toy store with the cats and stuff was good and funny, that 'set piece' was the one redeeming feature for the movie, there wasn't enough of that kind of thing. I wonder if anyone did a cut of that scene and put it on utube, if so go to Utube and watch the one thing from the movie that was enjoyable and do something else with that time saved.I could be wrong, but I think whoever came up with the toy cat stuff was hired as an outside consultant in relation to the writers and producers of this soap operatic gnome movie

southdavid (Sigh) . . . Lacking, would be my one word review of "Sherlock Gnomes". Though the animation itself is nice, the basic story and lacklustre script will probably leave most of the children in the audience bored, let alone the adults. The vocal performances are a mixed bag. With Gnomeo and Juliet effectively sidelined for a lot of the film, their performers (James McAvoy and Emily Blunt) probably give the flattest turns, but this does allow for Johnny Depp and, particularly, Jamie Demetriou to shine as Holmes and Moriaty respectively. There is a song crowbarred in around the middle of the picture from Mary j Blige's Irene Adler, which is as inexplicable as it is awful. In fact, music in general it a bit of a problem for the film - with a few bars of various Elton John hits piped into certain scenes, but it's like hearing a panpipe version in a lift, recognisable but not entertaining. There is, as I say, some nice animation but there aren't nearly enough gags that land, and certainly not enough that would appeal to any of the older kids / adults in the audience.
