Critics Consensus

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

3/5

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 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.

3/5

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

G.O.A.T.: Juliet, but Sherlock is annoying at first. I support the Johnlock ship that some fans of this sequel make fanons about. Again, Juliet’s still my G.O.A.T. in this franchise :)

This animated sequence is an authentic narrative disaster and a lazy attempt to capitalize on a children's brand. The script is extremely weak, mixing painful puns with a police intrigue without any sense of mystery or intelligence. The introduction of the famous detective in a garden gnome version results in an unlikable and charisma-free character, while the frantic pace only tries to disguise the total absence of genuine jokes. A boring, generic and completely unnecessary film.

The best animated movie in a freaking while. Everything down to the animation, voice acting, pacing, story and ending are on point, absolutely incredible. I can’t even fathom the words to describe this masterpiece. I especially love the bathing suit gnome, he has the best character arc, really changes as a person from despicable to kind. 5/5 amazing.

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.
