Critics Consensus

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

Kung Fu Panda director John Stevenson keeps the plot moving at a jaunty pace.

Actually more fun than the original and guaranteed to make under-10s shudder with delight.

It's nowhere near as bad as it sounds...

KSDK News (St. Louis)

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.

Flickering Myth

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

Sherlock Gnomes (2018) in my point of view this movie is not that bad, it manages to deliver good entertainment despite its very weak script.

Ironically Sherlock was by far the most likable character in this movie, but apparently the creators of this film wanted the audience to dislike him. Well, that didn’t work out so well. I only ended up not liking the original cast. Everyone was kinda annoying… I also felt like they absolutely massacred Moriarty because 1) why does he look like this and 2) he‘s very 2 dimensional. There wasn’t any depth in his character at all

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Anche se inferiore rispetto al primo, rimane un bel film da guardare

I have no clue why this movie was made. The plot is bonkers, the characters are less lovable, and it feels like one big fever dream, but not in a good way.

Sherlock Gnomes one of the "kind-of-average" films of 2018, not compared to Disney's Ralph Breaks The Internet. Kids will find this movie interesting; adults will find it boring. The plot is not enough of its detail, one of the main characters is desperate about getting his wife's attention, another character is kind of rude. It would be best to take your kid to see an appropriate kids movie rather than this.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
